NFSA Restores Collection: 'Witches and Faggots, Dykes and Poofters'

Gabrielle O'Brien's impressively researched and eloquently argued account of this 1980 documentary by Digby Duncan and the One in Seven Collective serves as a reminder of how intricately interwoven film and politics can be. It engages closely with the film's place within queer cinema and queer activism in Australia, and sees the work as a turning point in screen-based discourses on what was then a highly contentious subject matter. Additional keywords:LGBT, LGBTQIA+, sexuality, agitation, revolt, gay liberation, lesbian, revolution, resistance, police brutality, Mardi Gras, Stonewall, Sydney, bashing, slur, institutional prejudice, ghetto, visibility, representation, reclamation.
