AN ARMY OF LOVERS

An Army Of Lovers (En armé av älskande) is a rich visual journey into the history of queer self- presentation in Sweden. Combining newly shot 16mm and Super-8 material with rare archival footage, this documentary tells the story of the brave activists who in the 1970s picked up their film cameras in order to tell their own truths to the world – defying the ‘illness classification’ attributed to homosexuality and the dominant homophobic imagination.
