Routledge Screening Postmillennial Queer Film (Screening Cinema)

Screening Postmillennial Queer Film provides a critical overview of global LGBTQIA+ filmmaking in the twenty-first century, examining queer cinema beyond the New Queer Cinema paradigm, and as part of a progressively re-conceptualised world cinema. This volume explores how LGBTQIA+ film has evolved globally through diverse case studies spanning art-house, genre, and mainstream productions. Contributors examine key topics including aesthetics, authorship, activism, intersectionality, transnationalism, and geopolitics, contextualizing queer filmmaking within and beyond Anglo-American canons. The collection addresses the growing visibility of non-heteronormative identities in international politics, media, and culture, equipping readers with critical tools to analyse contemporary queer film production worldwide. Bridging the generational differences in queer film studies and cultural/critical practice, this book is essential for students and scholars in film studies, queer studies, gender and sexuality studies, and cultural studies. It is particularly valuable for those studying world cinema, postcolonial cinema, and LGBTQIA+ media representation. Ideal for upper-level undergraduate and postgraduate courses, the volume serves as both a teaching resource and foundation for interdisciplinary research on queer cinema and global film cultures.
