N2  - This article explores the relationship between lesbian independent cinema and transnational cinema in Europe. The first part of the article outlines two main directions-one thematic and the other aesthetic-in which independent lesbian films in Europe utilize aspects of transnational cinema. The next section considers how these films articulate lesbian desire in relation to new discourses of sexual citizenship and immigration in Europe. The third part of the article examines lesbian independent films that seek to underscore the violence of immigration controls in Fortress Europe. What is significant about this group of films is that they encourage us to rethink the issue of sexual citizenship from a transnational perspective.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
