The very first series of Thai queer cinemas--what was happening in the 1980s?

Abstract

"In this paper, the dominant images representing queerness in the first series of queer melodramas, The Last Song—the very first Kathoey or male-to-female transgender thematic film in Thai film history—and its sequel Tortured Love, will be analysed and studied as to how these films reflected the Thais’ attitudes toward queerness in the 1980s."AsiaPacifiQueer Network, Australian National Universit
