Queer Looks - Perspectives on Lesbian and Gay Film and Video (Paperback)

"Queer Looks" is a collection of writing by video artists, filmmakers, and critics which explores the recent explosion of lesbian and gay independent media culture. A compelling compilation of artists' statements and critical theory, producer interviews and image-text works, this anthology demonstrates the vitality of queer artists under attack and fighting back. Each maker and writer deploys a surprising array of techniques and tactics, negotiating the difficult terrain between street pragmatism and theoretical inquiry, finding voices rich in "chutzpah" and subtlety. From guerilla Super-8 in Manila to AIDS video activism in New York, "Queer Looks" zooms in on this very queer place in media culture, revealing a wealth of strategies, a plurality of aesthetics, and an artillary of resistances.
