Overall, the story-telling has multiple viewpoints, not a singular perspective.Ĭo-director/co-editor/animator Harri Shanahan, who studied filmmaking at university and produced post punk/experimental music videos, wanted “to tell the story of the Rebel Dykes because they “felt a kinship with their punk rebelliousness and their DIY approach to art and culture. The archive, consisting of mini-discs, digitised cassettes and VHS tapes, will be house permanently in the Bishopsgate Archive, London. The film’s composer, Ellyott, who works with ‘Sister George’ and ‘Night Nurse’, is the founder of Rebel Dyke and Queercore. The archive music used is of precious cultural importance since women musicians rarely signed contracts in a male dominated business. Music plays a central role in the feature: Britpop artist guitarist Debbie Smith, the “most celebrated Black female guitarist”, is the film’s leading narrator. It should be mentioned, that The Rebel Dykes were an international set-up: Seija came from Finland, Baya fled repressive East Germany, and Lulu was a San Francisco based photographer. The Rebel Dykes counter with action: invading the BBC News and chaining themselves to the furniture they also founded sex-toy businesses and erotic Magazines – often having to fight the incriminating laws.ġ981-1991 was a pivotal time in the history of alternative culture: kink, fetish, hedonism, music, drugs and political activism developed, leading to the formulation of trans rights and black queer life. They accused the Rebel Dykes of anti-feminism and violence. But the danger came also from another front: mainstream feminists picketed the club and forced entrance with crowbars and axes. The group was constantly under homophobic attack in the streets, so they just lived by night. The animated title sequence leads the audience into wild discussions and graphic descriptions of sexual scenes. It was a time of revolt against Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher’s administration: to create a Lesbian Fetish Club was in itself an open protest against the government’s ‘mishandling’ of the Aids Crisis and the introduction of Section 28, which basically forbade any mention in school curriculums about the existence of non hetero-sexual activities. In Brixton where squatting was not entirely legal, the DYKES started a vibrant underground culture with an SM club. Williams and producer Siobhan Fahey serve up a slice of subversiveness from the 1980s centred round a group of women activists who got together at Greenham Common, then decided to spice up the not-so-exciting London scene, taking over Women’s Centres and Gay Bars.
