History Lessons

Aroview: A "revisionist" archival doco from militant experimentalist, Barbara Hammer, that montages (and modifies) esoteric lesbiana as a clarion call for dyke pride.

Clips include classroom shorts from the fifties, a WWII doco on a fleet of female fighter pilots, advertising films, home movies, snap shots, newsreel footage of an all-women conference held by Eleanor Roosevelt, and even some explicit lesbian-themed "smokers" from the 1920's and 30's.
