The Important Thing Is Love
There will be a rare opportunity to see one of the earliest British lesbian TV documentaries in a Brighton Ourstory Project presentation on Wednesday and Thursday 2/3 August at 7.30. The showing, at Cinematheque, 9 Middle Street, Brighton, will be introduced by one of the women originally interviewed in this one hour programme when it was first broadcast in February 1971. Maureen will be telling us just how she came to lose her job and her home as a result of appearing in the programme, but gained new friends and admirers as a result.We also hope to be joined by one of the women whose life was transformed by seeing the programme. Then a young mother, glued to the TV screen with the volume turned down while her child slept upstairs, this viewer discovered for the first time that there was a whole other world out there, at the legendary Gateways Club in Chelsea. Once she spotted Maureen across a crowded room, her life was never to be the same again.
Tickets on the door, £3.50/£2.50 concessions. We are grateful to Brighton and Hove Council for supporting this event.
