Queercore Cinema with WESTWOOD Director Lorna Tucker

Arts, TV & Film

WESTWOOD: PUNK, ICON, ACTIVIST is the controversial new documentary from Lorna Tucker, which offers a glimpse into the organised chaos of punk fashion designer Vivienne Westwood.

To celebrate the theatrical release of WESTWOOD: PUNK, ICON, ACTIVIST, we spoke with Tucker about her new documentary, and took the opportunity to look at Queercore cinema – queer films that celebrate punk culture: think Bruce la Bruce’s controversial RASPBERRY REICH, Kenneth Anger’s SCORPIO RISING and the now canonical but then iconoclastic PINK FLAMINGOS.
