Book Description
Now You See It, Richard Dyer's groundbreaking study of films by and about lesbians and gay men, has been revised for a second edition, and features an introduction by Juliane Pidduck outlining developments in lesbian and gay cinema since 1990. Now You See It examines familiar titles such as Girls in Uniform, Un Chant D'Amour, and Word Is Out, in their lesbian/gay context as well as bringing to light many other forgotten but remarkable films. Each film is examined in detail in relation to both film type and tradition and the sexual subculture in which it was made.

Examination of how Lesbians & Gay Men made films about their own sexuality thru 1980, Oct 9 2006
By E. B. MULLIGAN "Bronwyn" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Now You See It: Studies in Lesbian and Gay Film (Paperback)
I mostly bought this for information on the period 1970 - 1980 and would have liked more detailed information. Most enjoyable for me was the 25 pages devoted to "Lesbian/woman: lesbian cultural feminist film".Of compelling interest was the section "Affirmation Politics" in the last part of the book `From and for the movement'. This section contained a list of documentaries from 1970 -1980 that contained titles, dates, country of origin, directors and a brief synopsis (information on where or how these films could now be viewed would have been perfect).
This book has been updated in a second edition published in 2003.
