LGBTQ* Films  History You Should Know

Can you name the first pro-lesbian film? Can you name the year?

Mädchen in Uniform (Girls in Uniform) released in Germany in 1931 was the first feature-length film to portray a pro-lesbian storyline and relationship. The film is based on the novel (and play) Gestern und heute by Christa Winsloe.

The story follow adoring Manuela, played by Hertha Thiele (left) who falls for her teacher Fräuline von Bernburg, played by Dorothea Weick (right). 

(Note: Loving Annabelle (2006)  has been compared to this film. The largest similarity is the teacher/student relationship.)

a) How did I not know about this and

b) where can I watch eeeeet??

I loved the 1950s remake with Romy Schneider when I was a teenager.
