sjfgss-3261	Beutter, Grace	The Evolution of New Queer Cinema and Lesbian Representation in Indie Film	2024	8	.pdf	application/pdf	3711	144	51	23 Abstract: Films like Desert Hearts (Deitch, 1985) and The Watermelon Woman (Dunye, 1996)– produced a decade apart but both labeled as essential New Queer films– take notably different approaches in terms of aesthetics, strategy, and concern, but each contain key traces of pastiche, appropriation, and social constructionism. Only at the end of the film do we find out that Fae’s identity is fictional, and merely representative of the many Black actresses omitted from film history.	cache/sjfgss-3261.pdf	txt/sjfgss-3261.txt
