Cinema has long played a major role in the formation of community among marginalized groups; and this book details that process for gay men in Sydney; Australia from the 1950s to the present. Scott McKinnon builds the book from a variety of sources; including film reviews; media reports; personal memoirs; oral histories; and a striking range of films; all deployed to answer the question of how to understand cinemagoing as a moment of connection to community and identitymdash;how the experience of seeing these films and being part of an audience helped to build a community among the gay men of Sydney in the period.
