Sapphic representation in film
Abstract
Throughout history, the homosexual and bisexual women's collective has been the object of discrimination, stigmatization and oppression, with cinema —among other media, but undoubtedly the one with the greatest repercussion— reflecting these situations. In many cases, the new generations of queer women have as a maximum reference in their process of self-determination what they see represented on the movie screen, being victims of an extraordinary institutional negligence. This research analyzes the main problems that have negatively affected the balance of Sapphic representation in recent decades, not only from a queer but also from a feminist point of view.
