James Allan’s "Imagining an Intercultural Nation: A Moment in Canadian Queer Cinema" explores three films of recent years which feature gay topics, Kanada by Mike Holboom, Love and Human Remains by Denys Arcand, and Zero Patience by John Greyson, the latter two seen quite widely in Canada. Allan examines a variety of ways questions of "queer" and "nation" intersect in these texts of a possible queer cinema.James Allan’s "Imagining an Intercultural Nation: A Moment in Canadian Queer Cinema" explores three films of recent years which feature gay topics, Kanada by Mike Holboom, Love and Human Remains by Denys Arcand, and Zero Patience by John Greyson, the latter two seen quite widely in Canada.
