This book carves out a vital space at the intersection of contemporary LGBTQ and Transnational film studies. It is equally important as a document of the translatability and border-crossing qualities essential to European cultures. Perriam and Waldron demonstrate brilliantly how tastes, values, desires and fantasies are mobilized through films for different LGBTQ audiences, but this is not all. Their intervention is critical because it comes at a time when the very idea of Europe is in jeopardy, and they subtly remind us that the study of film festivals and audiences can throw light on what is shared and what desires and values produced in one linguistic area can mean for another.--Nuria Triana Toribio, University of Kent
