Description de l'ouvrage :
Pedro Almodóvar may have helped put queer Iberian cinema on the map, but there are multitudes of LGBTQ filmmakers from Catalonia, Portugal, Castile, Galicia, and the Basque Country who have made the Peninsula one of the world’s most vital sources for queer film. Together, they have produced a cinema whose expressions of queer desire have challenged the region’s conservative religious and family values, while intervening in vital debates about politics, history, and nation. Indiscreet Fantasies is a unique collection that offers in-depth analyses of fifteen different films produced in the region over the past fifty years, each by a different director, from Narciso Ibáñez Serrador’s La residencia (The House That Screamed, 1969) to João Pedro Rodrigues’s O ornitólogo (The Ornithologist, 2016). Contributors examine how queer Iberian cinema has responded to historical trauma—from the AIDS crisis to the repressive and homophobic Franco regime—and explore how these films demonstrate a fluid understanding of sexuality, gender, and national identity. The result will give readers a new appreciation for the cultural diversity of Iberia and the richness of its thought-provoking queer cinema.

"Indiscreet Fantasies . . . is a compelling and pedagogical collection of essays written by many different scholars about how Iberian filmmaking portrays issues concerning queer and dissident gender identities and sexualities in recent history."
— Revista de Filología y Lingüística de la Universidad de Costa Rica
"The editors, Andrés Lema-Hincapié and Conxita Domènech, express the wish that the book be useful, especially for students of university courses. This seems to condition the structure of the book, and also the selection of themes that can undoubtedly be of great use for teachers and students on a weekly tour of different aspects of cinema in the Iberian Peninsula."
