desired! – film lust & queer

Rivalries constantly escalate between the Yo-Yo-Gang and the Skateboard Bitches, two lesbian girl gangs always up for a scrap. This is fuelled by the partly hidden erotic connections between the two.

The queer-feminist punk classic with its grainy Super 8 aesthetics features artists from various (proto-)Riot Grrrl and queercore bands, including Anti-Scrunti Faction, Team Dresch and G. B. Jones’ own band, Fifth Column.

Portrait of GB Jones

G. B. Jones

Canadian G. B. Jones is a film-maker, musician, artist, and producer of several zines. A trademark of her no-budget films is the collaboration with artists, musicians and cultural producers with whom she has links via the networks of queer and feminist underground cultures – cultures that she herself has likewise greatly influenced through her own work and her aesthetics. Jones works primarily with Super 8 and analogue video.
