This interview is based on a recorded q&a that James conducted with Richard for third year core module Film Aesthetics (in 2020), and features many questions that were posed to him by our students. You can read the article here.

James also made a video essay inspired by one strand of his dialogue with Richard. 'Reading With the Grain: Queer Theory, Interpretation & the Hays Code' can be viewed on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrr9rUdDggU.
