Queer Zombies

                                          Warning: blood, gore.

The alternative cinema provides a space for a cinema to be born which is radical in both a political and aesthetic sense and challenges the basic assumptions of the mainstream film. This is not to reject the latter moralistically, but to highlight the ways in which its formal preoccupations reflect the psychical obsessions of the society which produced it, and, further, to stress that the alternative cinema must start specifically by reacting against these obsessions and assumptions. A politically and aesthetically avant-garde cinema is now possible, but it can only exist as a counterpoint. (Mulvey 834)

''Ze,Zombie'' is an indie film consisting of an all queer cast and crew. In a genre that's dominated by white, cisgender men, this amateur production provides us with a fresh take on this sub-genre of horror. In ''Ze, Zombie'' genuine representation of queer individuals comes to life, perhaps leaving cisgender heterosexuals uncertain with whom they should identify. Check it out if you have the time, and think about whether a concept like ''male gaze'' remains relevant in relation to a film this radical.
