One of two new Queer Film Classics, the series started in 2009 dedicated to monographs on the most important and influential films about and by LGBT people. There are 13 titles currently in the series, including Death in Venice, Strangers on a Train, and Law of Desire.
Forbidden Love is a 1992 documentary on the experiences of lesbians from the 1940s to 1960s, especially as seen through the lens of lesbian pulp fiction. It features interviews with older lesbian women who speak frankly of their experiences during this repressive period, including author Ann Bannon, author of a classic lesbian pulp fiction series known as The Beebo Brinker Chronicles. The film is an important document of lesbian experience during these years – covert bars, police raids, feelings of shame and deceit. Directed by Lynne Fernie and Aerlyn Weissman, it won a GLAAD Media Award in 1994, and became the most successful documentary ever produced by the National Film Board of Canada.
This is the first documentary to be covered by the QFC series; the book includes a discussion of presenting LGBT non-fiction on screen, and also how this particular film is a crucial historical record of a community and a time rarely depicted.
