From Cinema Rediscovered 2023 Film Critics’ Workshop, The Sapphic Gaze wlw by Amy Jensen is a video essay commission in response to the 7th edition of the festival.
Amy Jensen is a recent Film & TV graduate from the West Midlands. She developed a strong interest in video essays during her studies at the University of Reading and is now currently working at a vintage art deco cinema in The Cotswolds. Amy aspires to pursue a career in film production in the future.
“After attending the festival and reflecting on the theme of 'Other Ways of Seeing,' I found myself captivated by the concept of 'gazes' in cinema, particularly after watching
the exclusive interview with Laura Mulvey. Exploring the portrayal of sapphic relationships on screen has been a truly enlightening experience, and I hope this serves as a valuable introduction to LGBTQ+ cinema for some, inspiring them to discover lesser-known
queer films that deserve far more recognition.” Amy Jensen
