i loved this video thank u so much!! i love the watermelon woman it is one of my favourite films of the moment, and as a young queer woman interested in film this was so interesting!!!
I've been waiting for a video like this to exist, and if it would have been up to me, it could have been twice as long, but it still rules! I wanna share some more recs of modern films that I find to represent and tell queer stories in ways that seem significant to me: Please Baby Please is a film about kink and gender- non-conformity that is very horny and still very clever Joni Peppers is a trans-filmmaker who does animation films all of which are available on TH-cam, they feel super original and lovingly made, Barber Westchester for instance has a lense on the way that queer time and how not every story fits into an easy narrative Of an Age reworks the coming of age genre in a queer way, and I don't mean that in a Netflix-Heartstopper kind of way
Been meaning to watch Joni Peppers' films for awhile and I LOVE Of an Age, such a great film and I really wish more people saw it. So glad you liked the video and honestly it feels very inevitable that I'll make more videos about queer film (Joni Peppers is actually on my video idea list already haha), so thank you for the reccs, especially Please Baby Please which I've never heard of before! If I can trade a rec, Vive L'Amour is a queer favorite that will almost certainly be a major subject in the inevitable Tsai Ming-liang video (can't seem to stop talking about his films). Also I Saw the TV Glow which I'm sure you may have already seen but WOW I've never felt so understood by a film.
Fun story, I got to meet Goran Stolevski who made Of an Age at a film festival and thanked him that he made something so undeniably queer, he said he had plenty more of that to come. I've actually made a list with New Queer Cinema adjacent stuff inspired by this video, because I had known about the movement for a while but never knew much more than Gregg Araki and Cheryl Dunye before it, so Vive L'amour is now on that list (your channel is really here to up my game on films from eastern asia). I'm from Europe, so I saw the TV Glow hasn't made it here, but it's soon showing at a special event near me, I can barely keep my excitement together.
