Damned Queers

Directed by Gunnar Almér, Lars Gustafsson, Håkan Hede, Sten Åke Hedström, Olle Holm, Anders Näslund, & Pelle Pettersson1977Sweden22 mins

In 1977 a group of radical homosexual men living together in a flat in Stockholm collectively produced the short documentary Bögjävlar (Damned Queers).    The film documents the men’s discussions about gay and male identity and intimacy, as well as activities such as demos, bathing and group therapeutic exercises. A rare example of moving images originating from within the Swedish gay liberation movement, Bögjävlar holds a unique place in the Swedish queer film history.
