Queer Perspectives
Selects #16 | 15 May–30 Sep 26
Queer films began to become more visible in subcultural contexts and spaces in the 1970s. They developed a wealth of aesthetic and thematic forms of expression: raw low-budget flicks, experimental short forms, the subversion of gender constructs, a confrontation with social prejudice and legal persecution, the explicit affirmation of queer desire, and what could only be hinted at between the lines. The nine films by directors whose works are held in the Kinemathek form an online program to complement the exhibition “Inventing Queer Cinema”.
