It was a pleasure to discuss the BFI’s pioneering history of lesbian and gay film programming at the BFI Research Showcase event July 2025, with these lovely BFI-partnered researchers presenting too! Migrant cinema; costume design and invisible labour; woman’s cinema in the archive—such great talks!

Adding some joy to the timeline!
I’m pleased to announce my first publication, exploring how associations between sex work and drug use deepened in 1980s Britain in the context of the AIDS epidemic.
Read it here in Modern British History’s latest issue:

Just watched: two boys become very close in a Jesuit-run school in France. Though another seminal text (spoiler alert!) in Vito Russo’s morbid cinematic Necrology, don’t be put off by its tragic ending: it is beautifully tender, light, and sensitive nonetheless.

Just watched: a young woman is sold into the ownership of a coercive brothel-owning kung-fu fighting lesbian. Dazzlingly choreographed and shot, this is a baroque queer work that jettisons all stereotypes to construct something truly original!

Just watched: subversive and unpredictable, this French feminist film is hugely ahead of its time. While its lesbian representation verges on problematic, its depiction of sex work is refreshing. A woman escapes the shackles of working-class life, here, exulting in the emancipations it promises.
