Headline: Examines how LGBT filmmaking in France and Spain moves
across borders and finds new audiences Blurb: The book advances the
current state of film audience research and of our knowledge of
sexuality in transnational contexts by analysing how French LGBTQ
films are seen in Spain and Spanish ones in France. It studies
films (in various media and platforms) and their reception across
four languages (Spanish, French, Catalan, English) and considers
and engages with participants from across a range of digital and
physical audience locations, with a particular focus on festivals.
It examines films that chronicle the local (in portraying national
and sub-national identities) and draws on the regional-global
(translating and transferring foreign models of non-heterosexual
experience). No comparative and crosscutting study with audience
research at its heart has yet been undertaken. Key Features: Offers
a full, clear, and comparative cultural history of LGBTQ film since
the 1990s in France and Spain and of its activist and
theory-inspired connections Has audience reception at the core,
working with an extensive corpus of responses Makes broad use of
social networking sites and the popular LGBTQ press to gauge
response Covers LGBTQ festivals including those in Barcelona,
Bilbao, London, Lyon, Madrid, Manchester, Paris and Toulouse Is
interested in short, independent, ephemeral and documentary film
production as well as commercially-pitched feature films Looks at
the cross-border impact of the auteur and big-name directors (e.g.
Pedro Almodovar, Cesc Gay, Sebastien Lifshitz, Francois Ozon) Sets
its findings against mainstream LGBTQ critical reception, written
in Catalan, English, French, and Spanish Keywords: French cinema;
