FILM3005: Queer Cinema

2024 unit information

This unit introduces students to queer cinema as a now recognisable global and world-making phenomenon produced within and beyond institutions of mass media. It focuses on films, videos and moving image media produced by LGBTQIA+-identified people, whether as individuals, groups, collectives or in the context of activist movements. Drawing on feminist, queer and trans theories, the unit explores representations of sex, bodies, identities, communities and cultures across mainstream, independent and avant-garde traditions.
