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.
"Doing more than updating existing histories or theories, Çakırlar crafts a view of the field that is as forward-thinking as it is strategic, positioning both films and scholars for the era to come. As capacious as it is discerning, this collection manages to construct an updated queer cinema while simultaneously interrogating the status of the category itself. Kudos to Çakırlar for a volume of manifold intelligence and truly international scope."
- B. Ruby Rich, Professor Emerita of Film & Digital Media and Social Documentation at UC Santa Cruz, USA; author of New Queer Cinema: The Director’s Cut (2013)
"In its anti-canonical assemblage of films and their analyses, Çakırlar’s collection restores the radical promise and provocation of queer work. I’m not just referring to the spectrum of texts or critical voices but to their “curation”, a term that Çakırlar reclaims for Film Studies’ decoloniality, pedagogy and, perhaps, futurity. There’s no lip-service here, but instead a return to “queer” as a way out, and a way through, in desperate times."
- Michele Aaron, Professor in Film & Television Studies, University of Warwick, UK; author of Death and the Moving Image (2015) and editor of New Queer Cinema: A Critical Introduction (2004)
"In an era when “queer” seems to be everywhere even as it comes under intense political attack, Çakırlar’s volume puts pressure on the various impasses it presents, leveraging them as curatorial opportunities. What emerges is not only the shape of an arguably global, postmillennial LGBTQIA+ cinema—but also a map of queer theory’s contemporary affordances and blockages. A thorough record of how we are (and aren’t) making sense of queer cinema now, this volume is essential reading."
