Description: "The Bent Lens is widely regarded as the definitive international guide to gay, lesbian, and queer film. With film descriptions and production details, it provides all the information you need to decide what film or video to watch next.".

"Feature films, documentaries, and short films are listed in a handy A-Z format, and there are comprehensive indexes to help you find the kinds of films you are most interested in. There are also listings of over 500 film distributors and sales agents, as well as gay and lesbian film festivals around the world.".

"This second edition has been fully updated, and includes 2,500 titles from over 50 countries, spanning gay and lesbian filmmaking from 1914 to the present. New essays from experts Judith Halberstam, Helen Hok-Sze Leung, and Daniel Mudie Cunningham - and an interview with Barbara Hammer - explore gay and lesbian film traditions and how gay identity is viewed in Western and non-Western film cultures.".

"The Bent Lens is a must for all film and video aficionados, and those working in the film industry and film education fields."--BOOK JACKET.
