| Summary: | Since the Catalan government passed the first of Spain's regional governmental laws on same-sex partnership in 1998, lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and queer culture in Spain has thrived. Spanish Queer Cinema assesses the impact of this significant cultural expression on Spanish cinema and evaluates the role LGBTQ film has had in creating and shaping identity and experience. Focusing on films from 1998 to the present day, Chris Perriam skilfully analyses the development of LGBTQ film-making and film-watching in Spain and places this within the wider context of LGBTQ culture. Covering lesbian cinema as well as gay, and queer documentaries and short films as well as mainstream features, the book investigates how LGBTQ films are circulated and how audiences react to them. It includes discussions of film festivals, cultural centres and social networking sites, and it places the film-watching experience within the context of other cultural activities such as television viewing, reading, surfing, downloading and festival-going. An informative and thought-provoking book, Spanish Queer Cinema is essential for students and scholars working in the fields of Film Studies, Spanish Studies and Cultural Studies.
