The pioneers of what has been labelled New Queer Cinema laid the foundation for a Queer Post-Cinema — a movement in which artists experiment with technology in innovative ways. Through original readings of Todd Haynes’s early films, Sharon Hayes and Yael Bartana’s videos and installations, Su Friedrich’s digital video Seeing Red, Charlie Prodgers’s iPhone film Bridgit, and Claire Denis’s science-fiction film Highlife, this monograph shows how artists are creating a new form of resistance in the time of the digital image and generative AI.
