[Filmfestivalresearch] Recent doctoral thesis examines classifications (ratings) systems and independent GLBTIQ film and film festival production

[Akkadia]

Dear Colleagues,

A recent doctoral thesis examining the role of classifications (ratings) systems on
independent film production and film festival programming with a focus on transgender cinema 
and queer and trans film festivals may be of interest to researchers, as this contributes to the growing 
literature of film festival scholarship internationally. It is available as a free download from the 
Southern Cross University (Australia) repository and also from my academia.edu page.
