"This way lies horror, romance, documentary, narrative and experimental; contemporary and period (yes, period); chaste, perverted, sensitive and exploitative; shorts and TV movies, microscopically independent and luxuriously garnished studio films—all about queer women, challenging the idea of a perpetually present monolith of lesbian storytelling. It is by no means a complete list (and is woefully under-representative of non-European international titles), which is perhaps my most exciting point: There is so much out there, and much of it does not have adequate distribution or preservation. But it's more accessible through hard drives, libraries, garage sales and corners of the internet than you might think. And if you take a chance on directly supporting queer film festivals, independent makers and small distributors, I promise you'll find something you never thought existed."
