== Film == Filmmakers such as [[Kenneth Anger]], [[Ron Rice]], [[Jack Smith (film director)|Jack Smith]], early [[Andy Warhol]] and early [[John Waters (filmmaker)|John Waters]], [[Vivienne Dick]] and the aforementioned [[Derek Jarman]] were influential in their depictions of queer subcultures. In 1990 the editors of ''J.D.s'' began presenting ''J.D.s'' movie nights in various cities showing films such as Bruce LaBruce's ''[[Boy, Girl]]'' and ''[[Bruce and Pepper Wayne Gacy's Home Movies]]'', and G.B. Jones' ''The Troublemakers''; after the demise of ''J.D.s'', each made films exploring the queercore milieu; LaBruce released the feature length ''[[No Skin Off My Ass]]'' in 1991; G.B. Jones' ''The Troublemakers'' was released in 1990, followed by ''[[The Yo-Yo Gang]]'' in 1992. In 1996, ''J.D.s'' contributor [[Anonymous Boy]] completed the first animated queercore film, ''Green Pubes''. Documentary films about queercore include the 1996 releases ''[[She's Real, Worse Than Queer]]'' by [[Lucy Thane]] and ''Queercore: A Punk-u-mentary'' by [[Scott Treleaven]]. ''Gay Shame '98'' by Scott Berry documents the first [[Gay shame]] event. [[Tracy Flannigan]]'s ''[[Rise Above: A Tribe 8 Documentary]]'' was released in 2003, and ''Pansy Division: Life In A Gay Rock Band'' by Michael Carmona debuted in 2008, both films playing regularly at film festivals around the world. 2003 saw the premiere of the [[No budget film|no budget]] comedy ''Malaqueerche: Queer Punk Rock Show'' by Sarah Adorable (of Scream Club) and Devon Devine, which brought the third wave of queercore to the screen. In 2008, G.B. Jones released the feature film ''[[The Lollipop Generation]]'', featuring many of the participants in the queercore scene, including Jena von Brücker, [[Mark Ewert]], [[Vaginal Davis]], Jane Danger of Three Dollar Bill, [[Jen Smith]], [[Joel Gibb]], [[Anonymous Boy]], [[Scott Treleaven]] and Gary Fembot of [[Sta-Prest (band)|Sta-Prest]], with music by [[The Hidden Cameras]], Anonymous Boy and the Abominations, Bunny and the Lakers, Jane Danger, Swishin' Duds and Mariae Nascenti. All these films impacted the scene and broadened the scope of queercore to include film as another of its mediums of expression.
