‘Then you lit a cigarette and carefully put the tip of it to the corner of the photograph and watched it smoulder and curl…’

Sex, Lies, Religion is a sexy dyke film made the day after two women met at the legendary
Clit Club in the depths of an old tavern in South London. Improvised and playful, it was shot
on black and white Super 8 in an old Victorian cemetery. The visceral and haunting voice
over was compiled from the filmmaker’s diaries at the time about their own experiences
and emotions and explores some of the complex elements of lesbian sexuality – power
dynamics, role-playing, cruising, desire and jealousy. It challenges representations of lesbian
sex and places the cast, crew and audience in a voyeuristic role.
