Abstract
This essay recalls an evening at a lesbian social club in the mid-1980s just prior to the eventual boom in gay and lesbian film distribution. A popular “video night” served as the occasion for a lecture/presentation by an independent filmmaker who had carefully compiled a history of lesbian film images. This informal introduction to Hollywood lesbophobia, in contrast to our search for positive screen images which reflected our active and healthy lives, gave impetus to numerous creative projects amongst the club membership, including a successful attempt to meet with actress Lily Tomlin.
