In 1982, The Lesbian and Gay Youth Video Project was formed, and about 25 young lesbians and gays made a video about themselves 'Framed Youth: Revenge of the Teenage Perverts'. The film won the Grierson Award for Best Documentary in 1984 and was shown on Channel 4 as part of the eleventh hour in 1987.
In 2013, over 30 years later, Ed Webb-Ingall collaborated with a queer youth group formed with the support of METRO Charity to create a new film in response to 'Framed Youth'. The finished film, 'Reframed Youth', was shown alongside the original to a packed audience at the BFI as part of the lesbian and gay film festival.
In honour of METRO’s 40th anniversary, we’re screening these two films together for the first time since 2013, followed by a discussion on LGBTQ+ community video-making with Ed Webb-Ingall and others.
Come along to share in this historic screening and reflect on the history and future of LGBTQ+ self-representation and filmmaking. This session is free to attend. The venue has step-free access.
