Little Joe: A book about queers and cinema, mostly
Edited by Sam Ashby
This volume brings together material from the cult queer cinema journalĀ Little Joe, published between 2010 and 2021. Described by Gayletter as āThe best damn film magazine in the whole wide worldā,Ā Little JoeĀ is a unique forum for the discussion of film around subjects of sexuality and gender within a queer historical context. The publicationās rebellious perspective challenges our preconceived notions of film history and proposes a queer canon of cinema, frequently from the margins of taste and style.
The hard-to-find, limited-edition publication is stubbornly print-only, privileging the word-of-mouth and hand-to-hand method through which many of the films it celebrated would have primarily circulated. It rejects the typical approach of reviewing new releases in favour of exploring films that demand reappraisal, celebrating everything from obscure art films to porn and Hollywood classics as worthy of critical debate. Each issue featured essays, in-depth conversations, short stories, comics, commissioned artworks, and archival discoveries from a host of queer and allied writers, artists, filmmakers, and academics, including John Waters, Sarah Schulman, Douglas Crimp, William E. Jones, Erika Balsom, Jeremy Atherton Lin, John Greyson, Elizabeth Purchell, Liz Rosenfeld, Peter Strickland, Ira Sachs, Terence Davies, Kevin Killian, Wayne Koestenbaum, Abdellah TaĆÆa, Marlene McCarty, John Cameron Mitchell, Rosa von Praunheim, Stuart Comer, Ed Halter, Tobi Haslett, Jenni Olson, A.L. Steiner, A.K. Burns, Desiree Akhavan, and Andrew Haigh.
For the first time this now collectable and rare material will be available in a publication that also pays homage to the original DIY Risograph aesthetic of the journal.
416 pages, 13.8 x 21.6cm, softcover, SPBH Editions (London).
