Reviews

Mit seiner brillanten Arbeit, deren hoher theoretischer Anspruch absolut eingeloest wird, katapultiert sich Damiens in die Riege der internationalen Queerfilmfestivalforschung, von der so wichtige Impulse fur die Festivalforschung insgesamt ausgehen. Seine Argumentation ist schlussig und nachvollziehbar, das Buch sehr gut lesbar. Mit seiner hervorragenden Arbeit demonstriert Damiens, dass wir von diesem exzellenten Forscher noch einiges zu erwarten haben. - Dagmar Brunow, Vaxjoe, MEDIENwissenschaft, issue 01/2021 An engaging and original history of queer film festivals and an insider critique of festival studies at large. Damiens has excavated our archives and offered a colourful tapestry of LGBTQ+ struggles over half a century, probing both the friendship and the activism at their core. - Thomas Waugh, Concordia University, Canada

LGBTQ Film Festivals lays bare the extent to which film festival studies' theories and methods frequently reduce queer film festivals to being merely about identity instead of perceiving these festivals as central to our understanding of how knowledge is produced. - Jonathan Petrychyn (University of Waterloo), Media Industries 8, 1 (2021) Mit seiner brillanten Arbeit, deren hoher theoretischer Anspruch absolut eingeloest wird, katapultiert sich Damiens in die Riege der internationalen Queerfilmfestivalforschung, von der so wichtige Impulse fur die Festivalforschung insgesamt ausgehen.

Mit seiner hervorragenden Arbeit demonstriert Damiens, dass wir von diesem exzellenten Forscher noch einiges zu erwarten haben. - Dagmar Brunow, Vaxjoe, MEDIENwissenschaft, issue 01/2021 With his exhaustive research and intricate attention to detail, Damiens has chronicled a vital history of LGBTQ film fests, adeptly capturing a doubly marginalized culture, ghosts and all. In this moment of pause, reflection and reinvention for film festivals, it's a book we needed. - Matthew Hays, Cineaste, Vol. XLVI, No. 1 (2020) An engaging and original history of queer film festivals and an insider critique of festival studies at large. Damiens has excavated our archives and offered a colourful tapestry of LGBTQ+ struggles over half a century, probing both the friendship and the activism at their core. - Thomas Waugh, Concordia University, Canada
