> One of the two strands of research in the 2008/09 UCL Mellon Programme
> (Translations/Transpositions: Intergeneric Transpositions), run by Cuneyt
> Cakirlar, focuses on the intersections between genre and gender. This
> strand treats post-1990s queer theory and queer politics as a particular
> practice of intergeneric transposition. It crystallizes around the
> territory of queer visual cultures and investigates critical
> genre-exploitations with a particular emphasis on visual representation of
> genders and sexualities,expressions of performative excess, mimicry, drag,
> camp and porn in contemporary visual arts. The film screenings 'Queering
> the Film, Filming the Queer' is a part of this research agenda. The
> selection of films to be screened in this event throughout the term can be
> seen as an ensemble of works which not only mirrored but also informed and
> mobilized considerably the post-AIDS experiences and discourses of
> contemporary queer subjectivities.
>
> Each screening will be introduced by Cuneyt Cakirlar, the series
> organizer,
> who will also chair an open discussion afterwards.

> The first screening is on 17 October at 6pm, Room B 1.02, Engineering
