By highlighting hidden gems alongside well known classics, this book makes a valuable, accessible contribution to queer film studies. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhile 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChelsea McCracken\u003c\/b\u003e is an Assistant Professor of Media Studies at SUNY Oneonta, USA.
