Black Camera Vol. 2, No. 2, Beyond Normative: Sexuality and Eroticism in Black Film, Cinema, and Video 
provides a collection of essays that assesses the way some black filmmakers have used the camera to disrupt representations of normative sexualities and Western ideals of eroticism. Contributing scholars include Greg Thomas, Terry Rowden, L.H. Stallings, Samuel Park, Marlo D. David, Matt Richardson, Babacar M’Baye, and Oliver Bartlet. These critics engage the work of filmmakers Djibril Diop Mambéty, Bill Gunn, Kathleen Collins, Rodney Evans, Cheryl Dunye, Tina Mabry, and Joseph Gaye Ramaka, as well as subjects such as black women's ecstasy and eroticism, black masculinity in gay porn, documentary filmmaking and sexuality, visual aesthetics and black eroticism, queer interracial desire, and eroticism and modernity in African cinema. In addition to critical essays, the issue also has an interview conducted with black lesbian filmmaker Tina Mabry, and a poster section with commentary and reviews on recent films and book.
