LINKDING

Summary: Love us as we are See us and we're holy In this shall we shall ever be Wholly ourselves. A continuation of my Screened Out series on the history of queer representation on film, focusing on genderbending films of the mid-1990s to mid-2000s. ➤ third in a series of vids Tafadhali made about depictions of queerness in hollywood; I recced the other two last fall, about pre-code and full-code eras ➤ this one is about the 90's and early 2000's ➤ which are all movies that came out within my lifetime so watching this hits in a different way than the other two vids! I definitely got emotional watching this vid ➤ the vid is celebrating the drag queens and gnc characters, and it's so perfectly put together, what a good vid <3 ➤ 3:23 in length. audio is song only, no added sounds/dialogue. no subtitles.

Summary: <blockquote>All I want to do is bicycle- bicycle- bicycle</blockquote> ➤ multifandom vid set to Queen's "Bicycle Race" ➤ no serious deep meaning, just a whole lot of different people bicycling in a whole lot of different fandoms! ➤ charming and fun to watch

Summary: <blockquote>Alone in our secret Together we sigh For one smiling day to be free A continuation of my Screened Out series on the history of queer representation in Hollywood, focusing on desire, longing, and repression in 1950s and early 1960s dramas.</blockquote> ➤ a follow-up to the pre-code vid I just recced, this one is about queer themes in 1950's-60's hollywood ➤ very different vibes, and the contrast says a lot when you watch the two back to back ➤ this one does really good understated yearning and unspoken secrets.

Summary: <blockquote>Masculine Women, Feminine Men, which is the rooster which is the hen? It's hard to tell 'em apart today. An exploration of the queer characters and tropes of (mostly) pre-Code Hollywood.</blockquote> ➤ fanvid about queer movies from mostly pre-Code hollywood days ➤ a fascinating window into the way queer themes were portrayed in that era ➤ fun and thoughtful at the same time

<blockquote>Reccer's Notes: Six years ago, twenty-five YouTube vidders came together with one song, maybe the most legendary song in the last fifty years, and brought it to life. It's a spectacular, modern take on the song, illustrating the lyrics with contemporary media, and bringing a fresh, if brutal, look at the story. Despite there being twenty-five editors, the cuts are clean, coherent, and have excellent flow. We've all heard this song, most of us can sing it by heart, but finally, here is the whole story laid out, as painful and frightening and magnificent as Freddie intended.</blockquote>

<blockquote>It's only smooth, smooth sailing from now on!</blockquote>

<blockquote>It's hard when no one else is singing your song. A love letter to our favorite Chosen Ones.</blockquote>

<blockquote>I beg to see you dance just one more time.</blockquote> ➤ fanvid for the Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers movies

<blockquote>You've got the real thing.</blockquote> ➤ I started smiling almost immediately and didn't stop through the entire vid

<blockquote>This was our entry in the 2005 Vividcon Challenge show, for the Milestones theme (in honor of the 30th anniversary of vidding). So we vidded our take on vidding history.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Here's the first of the two vids I made with collaboration for the final Vividcon. It's basically my love letter to the con, to vidding, and to fandom.</blockquote>

<blockquote>The vid that closed VividCon. "You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here."</blockquote>

<blockquote>Male privilege is a shield; you can choose what you use that shield for.</blockquote> ➤ also at https://archiveofourown.org/works/14793423

<blockquote>a multi-fandom vid set to Sia's "The Greatest" reveling in the bad-ass wonderfulness of characters of color in SF/F/horror TV and movies of the last 3-5 years.</blockquote>

<blockquote>The Jewish dance vid of my heart.</blockquote>

<blockquote>"We're swinging from the stars we were reaching for."</blockquote>

<blockquote>A mashup of almost every Dissney release since 1989</blockquote> ➤ INCREDIBLE editing, but very visually busy without really saying anything

<blockquote>I really really wanna thank you for dancing to the end.</blockquote> ➤ also at https://archiveofourown.org/works/17722736

<blockquote>My tribute to my favourite sword duels in cinema (60 films). EDITED IN 2009.</blockquote> ➤ swordfighting vid is defs the same genre as dance vids and belongs in the same tag, right? right. Anyway this is great.

<blockquote>If he had the chance, he'd ask the world to dance. Which he kinda did.</blockquote> ➤ Gene Kelly movies

<blockquote> A vid about being yourself.  (And dancing like no one is watching.)</blockquote>

<blockquote>As strong as the seas are stormy, and proud as an eagle's scream. Pre-teen girls rule the world.</blockquote>

➤ a very charming multifandom dance vid, with all the dancing in the clips set impressively well to the beat of the song. ➤ My only complaint would be that the song is about romantic interest instead of just about the joy of dancing

<blockquote>Where is our line?</blockquote>

➤ a remake of bironic's "Starships" using only pre-'69 black-and-white sources

<blockquote>We were cut from the same paper / that was folded long ago / so let all the other snowflakes turn to snow.</blockquote> ➤ fandom: fred astaire/ginger rogers films

➤ HOW long have I had this open in a tab waiting for the day when I would come up with a useful way to tag this?

<blockquote>We're gonna need a bigger boat.</blockquote> ➤ or <blockquote>"an ode to building infrastructure"</blockquote>
