Abstrakt
The aim of the work is to examine and re-evaluate the relationship between christianity and occultism in queer experimental cinematography and question coexistence of these two supposedly contradictory subjects. The work will try to define what queer experimental cinematography precisely is, and in order to achieve this result it will analyse three audiovisual works from authors connected with queer experimental film, starting with one the earliest homoerotic film Fireworks by Kenneth Anger, through Derek Jarman's Sebastiane and In the Shadow of the Sun and concluding with A Fire in My Belly by David Wojnarowicz. The thesis will seek its parallels and answers via feminist, queer and leftist perspectives based also on personal observations.
