Summary:Crosscutting audience research with contemporary thinking on sexuality in transnational contexts, this book analyses how French LGBTQ films are seen in Spain and Spanish ones in France. With a particular focus on festivals, the book studies the reception of films across four languages (Spanish, French, Catalan and English) and engages with participants from a range of digital and physical audience locations. It also focuses on films that chronicle the local (in portraying national and sub-national identities) and draws on the regional-global (translating foreign models of non-heterosexual experience).
