Green-Simms examines films produced by and about queer Africans in the first two decades of the twenty-first century in an environment of increasing anti-queer violence, efforts to criminalize homosexuality, and other state-sanctioned homophobia. Green-Simms argues that these films not only record the fear, anxiety, and vulnerability many queer Africans experience; they highlight how queer African cinematic practices contribute to imagining new hopes and possibilities. Examining globally circulating international art films as well as popular melodramas made for local audiences, Green-Simms emphasizes that in these films queer resistance-contrary to traditional narratives about resistance that center overt and heroic struggle-is often practiced from a position of vulnerability. By reading queer films alongside discussions about censorship and audiences, Green-Simms renders queer African cinema as a rich visual archive that documents the difficulty of queer existence as well as the potentials for queer life-building and survival"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 2$aA Camera Obscura Book 606 $aHomosexuality in motion pictures 606 $aHomosexuality and motion pictures$zAfrica 606 $aGay people in motion pictures 606 $aMotion pictures$zAfrica$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aHomosexuality in motion pictures. 615 0$aHomosexuality and motion pictures 615 0$aGay people in motion pictures. 615 0$aMotion pictures$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a791.43653 686 $aPER004030$aSOC064000$2bisacsh 700 $aGreen-Simms$b Lindsey B.$f1978-$01426962 801 0$bNDD 801 1$bNDD 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910743211003321 996 $aQueer African cinemas$93559497 997 $aUNINA
