Description
This compilation brings together challenging and innovative film and video works exploring lesbian, gay, bi, and trans culture, made by both queer pioneers and emerging creators. It addresses a wide range of themes: gender and sexual identity, social dynamics, coming out, the impact of AIDS, and queer youth culture.
"Queers on the Verge… is an excellent compilation of short films addressing contemporary themes related to gay, lesbian, and transgender people. This DVD is highly recommended and will make an excellent discussion tool in high schools and universities, not just for LGBT audiences. It should be available in all collections."
