Lavender Girls (Documentary, 2021)

Lavender Girls is a creative interpretation of lesbian representation in cinema. Focusing on sapphic presenting films made in the 21st century, artist Monica Mills discusses her personal journey and process of abstraction. By immortalising a variety of diverse Coming Out scenes with her paintings, not only are these moments celebrated, but they encourage bravery for future LGBTQIA+ generations. Each story is simultaneously unique and collective.

Every queer person has their own coming out story, and each one is important, valid, and should be shared, until we are accepted as equal, and no longer have to come out. These abstract expositions blur the lines of convention - love should never be regulated, and only with more representation will we overcome these archaic attitudes.
