Nitrate Kisses (1992)
Dir. Barbara Hammer
67min, 16mm
This first feature documentary by Barbara Hammer, a pioneer of lesbian cinema, weaves striking images of four gay and lesbian couples together with footage from the 1933 homoerotic film Lot in Sodom. Radical for its early depiction not just of queer life, but also the most marginalized subcultures within it, Nitrate Kisses is a candid, cutting-edge cinematic experiment.
