2002 · 48 min · ★ 9.0

A group of approximately 30 lesbians take a holiday in Sitges, Spain, enjoying sun, sea, and social life along the Mediterranean coast. The documentary captures their days at the beach, nights out in bars and clubs, and moments of conversation, laughter, and friendship. Through candid footage, it presents a snapshot of lesbian travel culture and community in the early 2000s, highlighting camaraderie, leisure, and personal freedom. The film emphasizes group dynamics, playful interactions, and the joy of gathering in a warm, scenic location. Rather than focusing on activism or personal struggle, it celebrates visibility, connection, and the pleasures of shared experiences. Sitges itself becomes a character, providing a vibrant backdrop that frames the holiday and social rituals.

What do you picture when you think of King’s Road? The swinging 60s? Vivienne Westwood pioneering punk fashion? One notable establishment in this enclave of history that’s often forgotten about is Gateways, London’s longest-surviving lesbian club. Alongside a host of its patrons over the years, Sandi Toksvig highlights the legacy of the club from its original owner, who won it in a poker game, to its blossoming into a hotspot and safe space for lesbian life. From its signature green door to the risqué dance move that gives this film its name, Gateways was a crucial part of London’s queer history. In this charming and informative film, it’s celebrated in all its glory.
