Sundays at Cafe Tabac, created by Wanda Acosta, Karen Song, and Lisa Binassarie, is a soon-to-premier independent documentary that tells the story of a weekly party and salon that took place in 1993 at Cafe Tabac (NYC). This salon attracted all sorts of individuals, but notably self-identified lesbians who came together as a community to promote progress and redefine notions of “femininity”.
The film revisits and celebrates the memorable personalities of this community and the downtown NYC queer scene.
“We will survey the forces that shaped this culturally unique moment with an eye towards better understanding current lesbian culture and visualizing the future directions of our community.”
Posture’s resident Film Critic Demi Kampakis leads the discussion below with Wanda Acosta and Karen Song as they unveil more about this fantastic project.
