From Thomas Edison's first cinematic experiments to contemporary
Hollywood blockbusters, Queer Images chronicles the representation
of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and queer sexualities over one hundred
years of American film. The most up-to-date and comprehensive book
of its kind, it explores not only the ever-changing images of queer
characters onscreen, but also the work of queer filmmakers and the
cultural histories of queer audiences. Queer Images surveys a wide
variety of films, individuals, and subcultures, including the work
of discreetly homosexual filmmakers during Hollywood's Golden Age;
classical Hollywood's (failed) attempt to purge "sex perversion"
from films; the development of gay male camp in Hollywood cinema;
queer exploitation films and gay physique films; the queerness of
1960s Underground Film practice; independent lesbian documentaries
and experimental films; cinematic responses to the AIDS crisis; the
rise and impact of New Queer Cinema; the growth of LGBT film
festivals; and how contemporary Hollywood deals with queer issues.
This entertaining and insightful book reveals how the meaning of
sexual identity-as reflected on the silver screen-has changed a
great deal over the decades, and it celebrates both the pioneers
and contemporary practitioners of queer film in America. Queer
Images is an essential volume for film buffs and anyone interested
in sexuality and culture.
