It Used to be Witches: A Journey Through Queer Cinema (Paperback)

An authoritative celebration of the past, present and future of queer cinema.

A kaleidoscopic history of LGBTQ+ cinema . . . written in a tone mixing the poetic, the slangy and the scholarly, the playful and the introspective . . . Gleefully surprising . . . Frank, often funny and sometimes moving . . . [a] glittering multiplicity of perspectives. - Sight and Sound

Playfully blending personal memoir, criticism and candid new interviews with film-makers from across the LGBTQ+ spectrum, Ryan Gilbey's eclectic and revealing book is a non-chronological treasure-hunt through queer cinema past and present.
