The famously queer and bohemian beach resort of Provincetown, Mass.—featured in last year’s QDoc crowdpleaser Packed in a Trunk—makes a raucous return in this highly entertaining film from director Andrea Meyerson. Back in the early 1980s, a small group of women innkeepers had an idea to extend the Provincetown LGBT tourist season by organizing a “Women’s Week” featuring lesbian entertainers and a beach clambake.

Clambake pic More than 30 years later, Women’s Week in Provincetown has become one of the most popular lesbian events in the world, attracting women of all ages for a week of parties, performance and solidarity. Clambake is not only a celebration of the extraordinary success and longevity of Women’s Week, but it’s also a poignant and often hilarious journey through 30 years of remarkable change in LGBT—and specifically lesbian—life and community. Archival and contemporary interviews and performances from celebrities, organizers and attendees capture the spirit and energy of this lesbian mecca. Clambake features some of the top lesbian comedians and performers such as Kate Clinton, Suzanne Westenhoefer, Karen Williams, Mimi Gonzalez and many more.
