Description de l'ouvrage:
100 Queer Films identifies 100 films that shaped the trajectory of queer cinema, connected with larger movements, and showcased the artistry of queer filmmaking. In addition to those films that already hold significant places in queer film canons, this volume examines often-overlooked titles. By highlighting hidden gems alongside well known classics, this book makes a valuable, accessible contribution to queer film studies.
While queer films have existed since the beginning of cinema, this book focuses on films released after the Stonewall uprising in 1969. Stonewall is considered a turning point for queer politics and representation, and the 50 years since that event have generated an explosion of queer creativity.
The book describes significant formal elements of each film and connects them to their interrelated contexts. By moving in chronological order, it introduces a contemporary history of queer film and provides an overview of major developments in LGBTQ communities, cultures, and politics. This volume presents a framework for understanding the value of queer film.

Revue de Presse:
"This is a wonderful introduction to queer film since the 1960s. It adds valuable context to much-loved titles, as well as drawing attention to lesser-known gems from around the world. The authors' knowledge of the films and their enthusiasm for the breadth of queer experiences and creativity shines through." ―Chris O'Rourke, Associate Professor in Film & Television Studies, University of Warwick, UK
"This book provides a detailed overview of some of the most important queer films released globally since
the Stonewall riots of 1969. Connolly and McCracken's work will surely be of interest to academic audiences as well as any reader looking for the ideal place to dive into the subject." ―Andrew Owens, Head of Film Studies, University of Iowa, USA
