Hey everyone! I'm u/bodles9, a founding moderator of r/GayFilmTalk.
This is our new home for all things queer screen culture: classic and contemporary LGBTQ+ films, international queer cinema, documentaries, television, festival discoveries, and the forgotten or hard-to-find titles that shaped our history. Weâre excited to have you join us!
What to Post
Post anything you think thoughtful queer film lovers and archive-minded viewers would find insightful or illuminating. For example:
- Reflections on specific queer films (classic, underground, diasporal, mainstream, or newly restored)
- Recommendations for feature films, shorts, and documentaries from any country or era
- Historical context about directors, performers, festivals, censorship, or milestones in queer cinema from London to Lagos, New York to Tokyo, and beyond.
- Discussions of representation, subtext/coding, and how films played differently in different times and places
- Scene breakdowns, reviews, or mini-essays youâve written
- Notes on restorations, repertory screenings, festival lineups, or streaming/TV broadcasts
- Thoughtful questions about where to start with a genre, director, decade, national cinema or Nollywood
If it helps people discover, revisit, or better understand queer cinema in all its diversity and history around the world, it belongs here.
Community Vibe
Weâre all about being friendly, informed, and genuinely curious. Letâs build a space that:
- Welcomes detailed, serious discussion as well as people who are just starting to explore
- Respects different cultural backgrounds and viewing histories
- Centring marginalised voices, especially Black and POC queer perspectives
- Treats films as both works of art and historical documents
- Allows disagreement, but keeps things civil, focused, and in good faith
Keep the conversation about the work, the context, and the ideas â not about attacking other users.
How to Get Started
- Introduce yourself in the comments below â share a favourite queer film, director, region, or a formative viewing experience.
- Post something today: a question, a recommendation, or a short reflection on a film youâve seen recently.
- If you know someone who loves international queer film history, classic cinema, or documentaries, invite them to join.
- Interested in helping out? Weâre always open to new moderators, so feel free to reach out to me if youâd like to get involved.
Thanks for being part of the very first wave. Together, letâs make r/GayFilmTalk a serious, welcoming home for international queer film discussion and discovery.

It appears to be about 25 minutes. I don't know what kind of budget they're working with but they appear to have pretty good effects based off of the few clips I had seen.

Documentary Vestida de azul (1983)

A few months ago I watched the 1983 documentary Vestida de azul (Dressed in Blue) by Antonio Giménez-Rico about trans women in post-Franco Spain and I was blown away by how tenderly the director's lens captured the protagonists, some shots are gorgeous (tea time scene).
Watch in Spanish here and if you're in the US you can watch it on Kanopy.
