We are inviting anyone who identifies as LGBTQ* aged between 16-25 to be part of an ongoing collaborative filmmaking project that takes the ‘invasion’ of a broadcast of the six o’clock news in 1988 by four lesbians protesting against Section 28, as a point of departure.

The production and the film itself will address the following areas:
– What did the ‘invasion’ mean as a protest against a law that prohibited local authorities in England and Wales from “promoting” homosexuality that labelled gay family relationships as ‘pretend’?
– How are we affected by representations of ourselves in the media?
– What does it means to work with historical moments and material?
