serial		Lip Carlton, Vic.: Women in the Visual Arts Collective, 1976. Call No: held 1976-1984 CorpAuthor: Women in the Visual Arts Collective; Lip (Carlton, Vic.) Source: AT Place: Carlton, Vic. Publisher: Women in the Visual Arts Collective PubDate: 1976 PhysDes: v. : ill. ; 30 cm Subject: ART CINEMA. AUSTRALIA; FEMINISM AND THE CINEMA. AUSTRALIA; WOMEN AND THE CINEMA. AUSTRALIA Summary: Lip was an interdisciplinary feminist arts journal founded in 1976 in Carlton. In 1975, one of Lip’s founders, Suzanne Spunner, coordinated the Melbourne edition of the International Women’s Film Festival, held at the Palais Theatre and RMIT. The festival was held in every state capital across Australia and was provoked by the lack of women’s films at the 1975 Sydney Film Festival. The festival was a success and proved to dismissive distributors that there was an appetite and an audience for women’s films. To compliment the festival, Spunner, Christine Johnston, Pat Longmore and Sue Johnston, had prepared related articles, interviews and reviews for a special edition of Cinema Papers devoted to women and film. When the issue was inexplicably pulled, Cinema Papers purportedly agreed to publish only a short piece on the festival - for a sum below the usual writer’s commission. Outraged, the group resolved to publish a feminist film magazine. With the “paltry proceeds” from Cinema Papers and some jumble sales on the streets of Carlton, as well as the support of the Women’s Art Register and the Women’s Theatre Group, Lip was born. Lip was a strikingly visual publication, which featured artworks, essays, interviews, articles and critical reviews. The editorial team of Lip functioned as a “collective of feminists” and held open evaluation meetings after each issue to critically discuss the ideas raised in the publication. The magazine featured the work of many highly regarded Australian artists, including Ponch Hawkes and Mirka Mora - the artist behind the image here of a Melbourne tram. Lip magazine ceased print publication in 1984. The AFIRC holds incomplete physical copies of Lip Magazine from 1976 to 1984. -- AFIRC Notes: Imprint varies: Lip Magazine Co-operative Ltd., <1984-; Description based on surrogate; title from cover ISSN: 0313-4288 Missing Issues: 1977 LON: cvx00300222; 2506359 More info

She looks at the parallels between the film, the book and her own surfside teenage years, and at the extraordinary responses to the film, both on its release and since. It’s a story as idiosyncratically Australian as the film that showed everyone who ever had any doubt that chicks can surf. ISBN: 0868197491 More info
