New York, June 21, 2006, The Museum of Modern Art presents “Another
Wave: Global Queer Cinema, an exhibition of 56 international gay,
lesbian, bisexual, and transgender film and media works produced since the late 1980s.” The exhibition includes nonfiction, fiction, experimental shorts and feature films by filmmakers such as Francois Ozon (Water Drops on Burning Rocks, 1999), Isaac Julien (Young Soul Rebels, 1991), and Ulrike Ottinger (Johanna d’ Arc of Mongolia, 1989). Special programs devoted to the work of New York�based filmmaker Jim Hubbard, a series of personal films about AIDS, and a series dealing with issues of homosexuality and national identity conclude the exhibition. Organized by Charles Silver, Associate Curator, Department of Film and Media, The Museum of Modern Art; David A. Gerstner, Associate Professor, CUNY, College of Staten Island, and author of Manly Arts (Duke University Press, 2006); Jim Hubbard, filmmaker, curator, and archivist; and Thomas Beard, Program Director, Ocularis.
North America and Western Europe are often recognized for their prolific output of gay, lesbian, and transgender film and media. Yet over the past 20 years a wide range of works falling into the sub-genre of New Queer Cinema has emanated from sub-Saharan Africa, India, New Zealand, Thailand, Argentina, Bolivia, Mexico, Israel, and China.
Queer filmmakers have traditionally tested the possibilities and boundaries of film and media aesthetics. Some of the boldest experimentation in narrative and visual form has been made by filmmakers whose films have used gay themes, narrative, or imagery to bolster or subvert existing conventions in cinema. The new wave of Queer Filmmakers presented in this exhibition investigates cinematic form in relation to the complexities of their sexual identities and the world in which they live.
Another Wave: Global Queer Cinema is presented in two parts: from July 5 through 21 and from September 1 through 16.
