Queer Holocaust Cinema

Arts, TV & Film

This week on Out Takes, to coincide with International Holocaust Remembrance Day (27 January) we turned our attention to queer Holocaust films.

We’ve looked at Holocaust films that are explicitly gay on Out Takes before: think films like Cabaret, Bent and Paragraph 175. This year, we looked at films that challenge the traditional hetero-normative, linear ways that conventional cinema recalls the Holocaust, without depicting narratives that involve LGBT characters.

Our guests were Eddie Tamir, the owner and operator of Classic, Cameo and Lido cinemas, which have always sought to screen films in remembrance of the Holocaust, and Dr Gerd Bayer, editor of “Holocaust Cinema in the Twenty-First Century: Images, Memory, and the Ethics of Representation.”

Must see: Inglorious Bastards (2009, Dir. Quentin Tarentino)

Hungry for more: The Reader (2009, Dir. Stephen Daldry)
