Not Like That (1994)

Super 8 & Beta SP
Experimental
Running Time: 15’

Available from:
Video Out Distribution

Starting with the footage of Annie Oakley and moving to clothing, hair and boots of the urban lesbian, this video explores the cultural signifiers of the outlaw woman. Looking at my own internalized fears of appearing “butch”, Not Like That attempts to overcome this particular type of homophobia that is evident in queer culture.
