She poses several questions: How are the pasts of LGBTQ people and communities visualised and commemorated on screen? How do these representations comment on the influence of film and television on the construction of queer memory? How do they present the passage of memory from one generation of LGBTQ people to another? Finally, which narratives of the queer past, particularly of the activist past, are being commemorated, and which obscured?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHorvat exemplifies how contemporary British and American cinema and television have commented on the specificity of queer memory - how they have reflected aspects of its construction, as well as participated in its creation. In doing so, she adds to an under-examined area of queer film and television research which has privileged concepts of nostalgia, history, temporality and the archive over memory. Films and television shows explored include Cheryl Dunye's \u003ci\u003eThe Watermelon Woman\u003c\/i\u003e (1996), Todd Haynes' \u003ci\u003eVelvet Goldmine\u003c\/i\u003e (1998), Joey Soloway's \u003ci\u003eTransparent\u003c\/i\u003e(2014-2019), Matthew Warchus'\u003ci\u003e Pride\u003c\/i\u003e(2014) and Tom Rob Smith's\u003ci\u003e London Spy\u003c\/i\u003e (2015).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnamarija Horvat\u003c\/b\u003e is a researcher in film and television studies, queer theory, and gender studies.
