A Queer Journey Through Time and Identity

An Upcoming Documentary Film

The Butches Are Back is a bold new film documenting the evolution of six Butches, originally featured in the international award-winning 1998 documentary, Scent uVa Butch.  Shoshana Rosenfeld, the Femme Creator of both films, seeks to uplift the voices of this powerful yet often overlooked community through time and space.  Well ahead of its time, Scent uVa Butch, a queer tour-de-force, broke ground by putting the voices of Butches at the center of the narrative.  The Butches Are Back is a love letter to Butches everywhere, whose identities, communities and lives have grown and changed in the complex context of the queer community over the past 25 years.

The Butches Are Back is a documentary in pre-production based on the award-winning 1998 documentary, Scent uVa Butch. 

Twenty-five years later, the Butches are back!
