(Re)Framed Youth is a screening and discussion of two landmark LGBTQ+ films from 1982 & 2013.
In 1982, The Lesbian and Gay Youth Video Project formed and about 25 young lesbians and gays made a video about themselves – Framed Youth: Revenge of the Teenage Perverts. The film ended up winning the Grierson Award for Best Documentary in 1984 and was shown on Channel 4 as part of the eleventh hour in 1987.
In 2013, over 30 years later, Ed Webb-Ingall collaborated with a queer youth group formed with the support of METRO Charity to create a new film in response to Framed Youth. The finished film, Reframed Youth, was then shown alongside the original to a packed audience at the BFI as part of the lesbian and gay film festival.
