100 Queer Films Since Stonewall | Author: Matt Chelsea; Connolly McCracken

100 Queer Films is a vibrant celebration of the movies that have shaped queer cinema over the past five decades. From internationally acclaimed classics to lesser-known gems, this book charts a rich and diverse cinematic history, exploring how these works intersect with broader cultural movements and reflect the artistry of queer storytelling.

Focusing on films released after the landmark Stonewall uprising of 1969—a pivotal moment for queer visibility and rights—this beautifully designed volume captures the explosion of creativity and representation that followed. It features works by celebrated filmmakers including Apichatpong Weerasethakul, currently the subject of a major exhibition at the MCA, alongside many other influential voices in queer cinema.

Each entry delves into the film’s formal qualities and places it within the social, political, and artistic currents of its time. Moving chronologically, 100 Queer Films offers an accessible yet insightful journey through queer film history, mapping key developments in LGBTQ+ communities, cultures, and politics. An essential companion for film lovers, cultural enthusiasts, and anyone curious about the power of cinema to shape and reflect identity.
