CSC Playlist Initiative: Queer Feminist Citations


I am delighted to share with you ‘Queer Feminist Citations’ a playlist from  
 Clara Bradbury-Rance (KCL).  Arguing that ‘citing the past is a tactic for imagining a politicised future’, Bradbury-Rance assembles a list of queer/feminist films and programmes that exhibit with both humour and flourish their feminist/queer political media histories.

It’s a fitting playlist as we head into Passover, when Jews are encouraged to reflect on the past to imagine a more politicised future— for freedom from all facing oppression. I keep this in mind as I imagine the world I would like to see next year… 

As always, you can peruse our larger collection of playlists here: https://screenculture.wp.st-andrews.ac.uk/category/media-playlists/
