Experimental Film and Queer Materiality 1st Edition

Experimental Film and Queer Materiality (1st Edition) by Juan A. Suárez is a provocative, necessary study that reorients how we see queer presence on screen. This innovative book draws attention to the physical and archival traces of experimental cinema, revealing how material forms—film stock, projection, editing—shape queer representation and memory.

Suárez combines close readings, archival discovery, and theoretical clarity to explore a wide range of moving-image practices, from avant-garde shorts to underground feature work. Readers will find lucid discussions of form, temporality, and embodiment, alongside arguments that connect historical media to contemporary queer practices. The writing is both scholarly and accessible, making complex ideas compelling for specialists and curious general readers alike.

Ideal for scholars, graduate students, film programmers, and cinephiles, this 1st Edition situates experimental film within global queer cultural histories and media studies debates. It offers fresh perspectives for courses in film studies, queer theory, media archaeology, and Latinx cinema, and is particularly relevant for readers across North America, the UK, Europe, and Latin America seeking rigorous, globally minded scholarship.

If you’re looking to deepen your understanding of how material conditions shape queer cinematic expression, Experimental Film and Queer Materiality delivers rigorous insights and inspiring case studies. Add this essential volume by Juan A. Suárez to your library to engage with a bold rethinking of film, form, and queer life.
