Saturday Night Butch

About this title

Originating in 1950s America, the term "Saturday Night Butch" described lesbians who dressed stereotypically feminine during the week—for work and daily life—and expressed their Butch identity only on weekends, in lesbian bars. Claudia Vogt’s film explores the modern relevance of this term through the stories of five queer women, highlighting the positive impact these spaces have had on their lives.
