  • QUEERING the SCRIPT 93 Minutes / CANADA
    QUEERING THE SCRIPT 93 minutes / CANADA Written and Directed by Gabrielle Zilkha ** OFFICIAL SELECTION – 2019 Inside Out LGBT Film Festival ** ** OFFICIAL SELECTION – 2019 Frameline43 ** Recipient of the Frameline Completion Fund ** OFFICIAL SELECTION – 2019 Outfest LGBT Film Festival ** Winner of the Special Programming Award for Freedom ** OFFICIAL SELECTION - AGLIFF 2019 ** ** OFFICIAL SELECTION – RAINDANCE FILM FESTIVAL 2019 ** Queering the Script is produced by Shaftesbury with the participation of Hollywood Suite, the Canada Media Fund, the Frameline Completion Fund, and with the assistance of The Canadian Film or Video Tax Credit and The Ontario Film and Television Tax Credit. Logline: Giving queer fandom a voice in the conversation about LGBTQ+ representation from “Xena” to “The L Word” to “Pose”, QUEERING THE SCRIPT examines the rising power of the fans and audience shaping representation on TV, the relationship between fandom and activism, and what lies ahead for visibility and inclusiveness. Synopsis: Queerness on television has moved from subtext, in series such as “Xena: Warrior Princess”, to all- out multi season relationships between women, as seen on “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”, “Lost Girl”, and “Carmilla”. But things still aren’t perfect. In 2016, a record number of queer women died on fictional shows, which broke the hearts of queer fans and launched a successful fight for better, more diverse LGTBQ2S+ representation. Stars such as Ilene Chaiken, Stephanie Beatriz, Lucy Lawless and Angelica Ross join with the voices of numerous kickass fangirls in this fast-paced history of queer women’s representation of contemporary television. QUEERING THE SCRIPT not only charts the evolution of queerness, but also demonstrates the extraordinary impact of activism on its many diverse fans, ensuring that they see themselves accurately portrayed on screen.

  • Carmilla and Affect in Contemporary Lesbian Fandom
    Lesbian Feelings and Fandoms: Carmilla and Affect in Contemporary Lesbian Fandom by Sneha Shilip Kumar A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Film Studies Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2020, Sneha Shilip Kumar Abstract My thesis explores the contemporary lesbian web series as being similar to fanfiction and its fandom as an affective community built on a set of inclusions and exclusions. My case study is Carmilla (Canada, Spencer Maybee 2014-2016), a YouTube web series shot in vlog format, and its lesbian fandom. I argue that Carmilla challenges the genres of the gothic and lesbian vampire in ways similar to fanfiction. Building on the work of fan studies scholars Katrin Döveling and Louisa Stein, I propose that affective bonds are created between Carmilla fans through various kinds of online activities and these flows of affect are influenced by the race and location of fans. My experiences at the first CarmillaCon in Toronto suggest that the online and offline Carmilla fandom both create and reflect each other. i Acknowledgements I am grateful to the Carmilla fandom for many reasons: giving me community when I thought I had none; allowing me to feel acceptance when I felt uncomfortable in my own skin; getting me through long nights filled with many assignments; and finally, providing me with the resources to successfully write my thesis. There are so many people I have to thank for giving me the strength and guidance to finish this project. First and foremost, I am indebted to my supervisor, Dr.

I can’t put into words how thankful I am for all of our time spent working and writing and chatting about life. She’s helped me become the person I am today, and for that, I am eternally grateful. iii ABSTRACT Inspired by Alice Bolin’s Dead Girls: Essays on Surviving an American Obsession, this personal essay explores the history of the Dead Girl archetype in crime fiction and beyond, meditating on the ways in which the Dead Girl has infiltrated almost every realm of Western culture. The Dead Girl, and her sister the Living Dead Girl, are figures that allows patriarchal writers to include women in their fiction at the expense of female agency, authenticity and life, as seen in the frequency with which dead women decorate the page and the screen.

ZUK Under the Direction of Ethan Tussey, PhD ABSTRACT This dissertation is examining LGBTQ+ audiences and creatives collaborating in the creation of new media texts like web shows, podcasts, and video games. The study focuses on three main objects or media texts: Carmilla (web series), Welcome to Night Vale (podcast), and Undertale (video game). These texts are transmedia objects or intertextual commodities. I argue that by using queer gestures of collaborative authorship that reaches out to the audience for canonical contribution create an emerging queer production culture that disidentifies with capitalism even as it negotiates capitalistic structures. The post-millennial queer sensibility is a constellation of aesthetics, self-representation, alternative financing, and interactivity that prioritizes community, trust, and authenticity using new technologies for co-creation.

[email protected] 812-335-9868 (home) This syllabus is available in alternative formats upon request. Overview The vampire is one of the most popular and enduring images in the world, giving rise to hundreds of monster movies around the globe every year, not to mention novels, short stories, plays, TV shows, and commercial merchandise. Yet the Western vampire image that we know from the film, television, and literature of today is very different from its eastern European progenitor. Nina Auerbach has said that "every age creates the vampire that it needs." In this course we will explore the eastern European origins of the vampire, similar entities in other cultures that predate them, and how the vampire in its look, nature, vulnerabilities, and threat has changed over the centuries. This approach will provide us with the means to learn about the geography, village and urban cultures, traditional social structure, and religions of eastern Europe; the nature and manifestations of Evil and the concept of Limited Good; physical, temporal, and societal boundaries and ritual passage that accompany them; and major historical and intellectual periods (the settlement of Europe, the Age of Reason, Romanticism, Neo-classicism, the Enlightenment, the Victorian era, up to today).
