Content:
Pedro Almodóvar may have helped put queer Iberian cinema on the map, but there are multitudes of LGBTQ filmmakers from Catalonia, Portugal, Castile, Galicia, and the Basque Country who have made the Peninsula one of the world's most vital sources for queer film. Together, they have produced a cinema whose expressions of queer desire have challenged the region's conservative religious and family values, while intervening in vital debates about politics, history, and nation. Indiscreet Fantasies is a unique collection that offers in-depth analyses of fifteen different films produced in the region over the past fifty years, each by a different director, from Narciso Ibáñez Serrador's La residencia (The House That Screamed, 1969) to João Pedro Rodrigues's O ornitólogo (The Ornithologist, 2016). Contributors examine how queer Iberian cinema has responded to historical trauma-from the AIDS crisis to the repressive and homophobic Franco regime-and explore how these films demonstrate a fluid understanding of sexuality, gender, and national identity. The result will give readers a new appreciation for the cultural diversity of Iberia and the richness of its thought-provoking queer cinema. Published by Bucknell University Press.

Content:
"Indiscreet Fantasies: Iberian Queer Cinema is a collection of fifteen essays, each focusing on a queer film by a prominent Iberian filmmaker. The films studied here span nearly five decades, beginning with Narciso Ibáñez Serrador's La residencia (The House That Screamed, 1970) and ending with João Pedro Rodrigues' O ornitólogo (The Ornithologist, 2016). The first of its kind for English-speaking readers, this book examines the work of filmmakers Ventura Pons, Cesc Gay, Marta Balletbò-Coll, Paulo Rocha, Roberto Castón, Ignacio Vilar, and Pedro Almodóvar, among others, from various Iberian cultural and linguistic cultures, including that of Portugal, Catalonia, Galicia, and the Basque Country. Rather than presenting a historical survey of Iberian queer films, Indiscreet Fantasies encourages a deep reading of each film, sends readers to other related films/writings, and fosters meditation on the ways these films cast light on particular moments and aspects of contemporary Iberian queer issues in history and society"--
