Two important new books look at LGBTQ+ cinema in fresh ways. They focus on trans and bisexual people in film. These books help us understand LGBTQ+ media better.

The first book is called Trans Cinema: Remaking Communities, Identities, and Worlds. Laura Horak wrote this book. It looks at how trans people appear in films. It also looks at how trans people make films. The book shows how cinema can build trans communities. It explores how film shapes trans identity.

The second book is called Cinemas of Bisexual Transgression. Jacob Engelberg wrote this one. It focuses on bisexual people in film. Bisexual people are often left out of film studies. This book changes that. It gives bisexual stories the attention they deserve.

Both books are important for LGBTQ+ film studies. They go beyond gay and lesbian stories. Trans and bisexual voices are often missing from film research. These books help fix that problem.

Laura Horak studies how trans cinema creates new worlds. Films can show trans lives in powerful ways. They can help trans people feel seen. They can also help others understand trans experiences better.

Jacob Engelberg looks at bisexual stories in a new way. He calls it 'bisexual transgression'. This means bisexual films often break rules. They challenge how we think about identity and desire. Bisexual characters in film are often complex and interesting.

Together, these two books remake the field of LGBTQ+ film studies. They show that our ways of seeing and thinking must grow. Gay and lesbian stories alone are not enough. Trans and bisexual stories are also central to LGBTQ+ culture.

Both books were featured by Autostraddle. Autostraddle is a well-known LGBTQ+ media platform. It covers culture, politics, and identity. These books are recommended for anyone interested in LGBTQ+ film and media studies.

This is an exciting moment for queer film studies. New voices and new stories are shaping the field. Trans and bisexual cinema is finally getting the recognition it deserves.
