Dykes in the City

At the end of 2001, the LIPS lassies put together one of their biggest group projects: a series of short films called ‘Dykes in the City’. In collaboration with GMAC, the Glasgow Media Access Centre, LIPS members took on almost every role – as scriptwriters, editors, actors, directors and cinematographers. The films they produced are mostly light-hearted depictions of lesbian and bisexual teenage life – coming out, school, crushes, safe sex. They capture a specific moment in Glasgow’s queer history, where the shadow of the AIDS crisis and tentative openness of a new post-Section 28 era merge.
