With over 220 events worldwide and some of the bigger budgets exceeding $1 million, the queer film festival has grown to become a staple event in all cosmopolitan cities? arts calendars. While activism was instrumental in establishing these festivals, the pink dollar has been a deciding factor in its financial sustainability. Pretty gay boys with chiselled abs are a staple feature, rather than underground experimental faire. Community arts events, such as these, are now a creative industry. While clearly having a social purpose, they must also concern themselves with the bottom line. For all the contradictory elements of its organisational growth, this conflict makes the queer film festival an integral site for analysis. This book takes a multidisciplinary approach in examining the queer film festival as a representative snapshot of the current state of queer cinema and community based film festivals. The book looks at queer film festivals in San Francisco, Hong Kong and Melbourne to argue for the importance of these institutions remaining as community events. . 410 0$aFraming Film Festivals 517 3 $aEPUB 606 $aMotion pictures?History 606 $aCivilization?History 606 $aSociology 606 $aMotion pictures 606 $aFilm History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/413070 606 $aCultural History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/723000 606 $aGender Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X35000 606 $aFilm Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/413090 615 0$aMotion pictures?History. 615 0$aCivilization?History. 615 0$aSociology. 615 0$aMotion pictures. 615 14$aFilm History. 615 24$aCultural History. 615 24$aGender Studies. 615 24$aFilm Theory. 676 $a791.4309 700 $aRichards$b Stuart James$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01063305 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910158657303321 996 $aThe Queer Film Festival$92531528 997 $aUNINA
