The narrative unfolds through carefully curated snippets of past film and TV clippings, providing a compelling portrayal of femme queer identity. The film effectively communicates the essence of being femme queer – a term encompassing those who identify with a non-heteronormative sexual orientation or gender identity while embracing femininity.
Educational and insightful, the film not only showcases the rich tapestry of femme queer culture but also serves as a valuable resource for understanding this multifaceted identity. Willis and Kerford’s use of archival footage adds depth and historical context, creating a visually engaging experience that captures the spirit of femme queer identity. The experimental nature of post-production, coupled with the vibrant music and editing, contributes to a dynamic and impactful exploration of this significant aspect of LGBTQ+ culture.
With the incorporation of flicker, camp, and experimental doc elements into this project, the film explores the ridiculous and overwhelming journey of seeking identity and community. It reflects upon those who have come before to make spaces for queer women and non-binary people, and how our culture and society have repressed and failed them (and us).
