Glasgay

2011

This year's Glasgay looks at the representation of queer people now and in the past, counterpointing their experiences and offering fresh perspectives on the developing civil rights movement. There's a look at the influence of Hollywood stars, of alternative beauty contests, and of female filmmakers who challenged contemporary representations of women. There's also a chance to enjoy John Waters classic Polyester in full odorama.
