The year 1992 was a watershed one for LGBTQ+ film, giving birth to the term “New Queer Cinema” and introducing a revolutionary generation of films and filmmakers with energetic irreverence and disruptive aesthetics. At the 1992 Sundance Film Festival, writer, editor and professor B. Ruby Rich convened and moderated a panel called "Barbed-Wire Kisses: Contemporary Lesbian and Gay Cinema" with preeminent artists to discuss their work and the historic moment of its emergence. In this video from the 2021 Festival, Rich and other LGBTQ+ titans gather 30 years later to look back and imagine forward in this contemporary edition of “Barbed Wire Kisses.”
