New Queer Cinema - Celebrating Pride Month 2026

"New Queer Cinema" is a term created by film critic and scholar B. Ruby Rich in an article in "Sight and Sound" magazine in 1992 that describes the cycle of queer independent films produced in the early 1990s. This list is a selection of those films. All of the movies on this list can be checked out or placed on hold at the Boston Public Library or streamed online on Kanopy.
