Last Call at Maud's is a 1993 American documentary film directed by Paris Poirier. The film explores the history of lesbian culture from the 1940s to the 1990s as it records the last evening of Maud's, a San Francisco lesbian bar that closed in 1989 after 23 years in operation.[1][2]
The documentary combines vintage footage with interviews with Maud's owner, Rikki Streicher, its employees, and patrons, including Judy Grahn, Sally Gearhart, Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon.[3][4][5][6][7]
Last Call at Maud's was shown as a work-in-progress at the San Francisco International Lesbian and Gay Film Festival on June 24, 1992.[8] The film held its world premiere in San Francisco at the Castro Theatre on February 5, 1993;[9][10] and screened at the 1993 Berlin International Film Festival in the Panorama section.[11][12]
