Great Guide to Independent Gay and Lesbian/Queer Cinema

Although now a little out of date, this gem by "The Queer Movie Poster Book" (2004) and "Homo Promo" (DVD, 2004) documents the explosion of gay and lesbian films large and small since Stonewall. Particular notice has been afforded small films and shorts which before the Internet and DVD were nearly impossible to find outside Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Film Festivals. This book served as the foundation for PopcornQ, now part of PlanetOut.com, the indispensable online resource for those who love Queer movies. Belongs on the shelf of both serious students of Queer filmmaking, and the interested filmgoer alike. The only downside, I suspect due to an academic publisher: no photogaphs from the films. Recommended.
