Argentine LGBT cinema

Latin American LGBT cinema

Argentina has a strong body of national LGBT cinema. It is also home to the international LGBT film festival Libercine.[1] Some LGBT films from the country have been said to "have created an impact thanks to positive critical reception, and their queer protagonists",[2] with the nation itself in recent years said to have "taken the lead in Latin America in producing provocative films that shed the cliches of so much commercial gay filmmaking in the United States".[3] Deborah Shaw theorises that new forms of co-production and different avenues of funding may be promoting more queer film in Argentina.[2]
