    Amorous, Antiquated, Audacious

    Cordula THYM Katharina LAMPERT 2009 Austria Documentary color 64min German Color／B&W
    The city was rather gray and antiquated back in the old days. If there was any scene at all, it was made up of gay men. The so-called "sub" scene was not particularly inviting. During the frequent police raids lesbians and gay men had to be sitting at tables nicely ─ “normal” and “inconspicuous.” Lesbian life took place in private ─ behind closed doors. Unlike in other countries, there are very few photos documenting this in Austria. The visual gap still exists today with the exception of an interruption during the well-documented 70s, during which the lesbian movement was quite active politically and in the media. Even though “lesbians are always and everywhere.”
    The film project deals with the lives and networks of lesbians in Vienna in the 1950s and 60s. What communities and places were there, and how public, i.e. accessible, were they? How did women organize themselves? How did they present themselves to the outside world? And what did it mean to identify as a lesbian at that time? Information like this is hard to find and is often passed down through history in oral stories or rumors.
