Curating Queer Feminist Cinema: A Conversation Between Selina Robertson and James S. Williams

Abstract “Curating Queer Feminist Cinema” examines the relations between the local and the transnational by considering the history and politics of queer feminist film curation in London. It takes the form of a conversation between the editor of the Special Issue, James S. Williams, and British queer feminist film programmer and curator Selina Robertson, who co-founded Club des Femmes, a London-based queer feminist curating collective. The discussion considers archiving queer history in cinema, feminism, queer and trans community, and film curatorial practice as research and a form of cultural and collective memory.
