uth' ' FRAMED Youth - Revenge of the Teenage Perverts" is a 50 minute video tape made by young lesbians and gays about themselves and their friends, aimed primarily at young aud. iences in schools, youth clubs and community groups.
The video documents the personal experiences and problems I young lesbians and gays -heir first relationships, comin out, parents, school, physical violence, and the future.
At the moment of a right wing resurgence in British politics, it attempts to capture a new mood and outlook after a decade of the women's and gay movements. year ago, funded by Channel 4 and the Greater London Arts Association; to give an opportunity to young lesbians and gays to learn about video and make a tape for distribution. The video was researched, filmed, scripted and edited by young lesbians and gays. Over 25, aged between 18 and 23, have been involved, who had no previous experience of video.
Over 80 young people were interviewed for the video.
Particularly significant is the fact that the project was conceived as a mixed lesbian and gay venture.
Rather than just another documentary of a minority, the video will hopefully communicate with a young audience as a strong and angry statement about themselves and their situation.
The video is available on VHS and Betamax from Albany Video, the Albany, Douglas Way, London SE8, telephone 692 0231, for sale or hire.
