Gays and Film cover

Gays and Film

by Richard Dyer

The first gay cinema event at the National Film Theatre was organised by Dyer in 1977, and the event was accompanied by the publication of Gays and Film, a collection of essays edited by him with a purple cover depicting Greta Garbo and John Gilbert. The monograph is broken into three sections: "Lesbians and Film: Some Thoughts" by Caroline Sheldon, "Stereotyping" by Dyer, and "Camp and the Gay Sensibility" by Jack Babuscio.
