Sources on Film

Formatted like an annotated bibliography or detailed index, the content of this collection
features international films and distributing companies that specialize in LGBT film. Complete with bibliography, a distributor directory, and an international directory of lesbian and gay film festivals and about 300 pages of film descriptions, Olson has set the standard for film guides.

Olson indexes the films in a cross-listed format under subject headings that are separated by length, “features” or “shorts”,
and the subject index defining identity as “images” such as “Black images” and “Asian images”.  The indexing is seemingly specific to overarching themes within LGBT film such as “Camp”, “sex work”, or “S/M and Alternative Sexuality” (separate from “Pornography” or “Sexuality”).
