LAVENDER MENACE is an experimental short film created by Alexis Nordblom, Stefanie Hubbard, and Mimi Ghosh. The film takes its name from the radical feminist collective that emerged in the early 1970s. Lesbian feminists who challenged the way mainstream feminism pushed them to the margins. By reclaiming a slur, the original Lavender Menace insisted on the visibility and importance of queer women within the movement. Our film echoes that energy through a visual study of representation, distortion, and erasure. It opens with archival and found images of women; figures who appear confident, composed, and clearly seen. As the film unfolds, these images break apart, blur, and unravel. Their transformation reflects the ways women’s identities, especially those of queer women, have been reshaped, distorted, or erased within cultural and political narratives. LAVENDER MENACE is both a tribute and a critique. It celebrates a legacy of feminist resistance while also confronting the ongoing tensions around visibility, identity, and how collective memory is formed and forgotten.
