<p>All of the modes and definitions of queer filmmaking might often overlap and fuel each other. Gus Van Sant’s <em>My Own Private Idaho</em>, for example, was not only made by a queer filmmaker, but also centers on the male prostitutes Mikey Waters (River Phoenix) and Scott Favor (Keanu Reeves), who fall in love with each other while they continue to have sex with their male and female clients. In a supporting role, openly gay actor and queer icon Udo Kier was cast. Furthermore, it takes genre cues from the melodrama and the buddy film while it uses avant-garde forms of filmmaking (e.g. a sex scene staged as a form of still photography).</p>
<p>Reflect on your viewing experiences. Can you think of any films (or other media) that you watched recently that were part of queer cinema, invited a queer reading or offered potential for queer identification?</p>
<p>Note: Most of the examples in this module were from American cinema, often focussing on white protagonists. This only represents a portion of queer cinema.</p>
