A scarce complete run of the cult periodical Little Joe that was published by Sam Ashby as a limited run zine from 2010 to 2021. Dubbing itself ‘A magazine about queers and cinema, mostly’ the space of the magazine became a lively forum for the discussion of moving image together with sexuality, gender and LGBTQ+ history. The features in Little Joe sought to champion overlooked films and celebrated a diverse spectrum of narratives from obscure art films to porn and Hollywood classics. Each issue presents a fun blend of essays, conversations and archival material with lively graphics, comics and commissioned artworks. An impressive array of contributions from Sarah Schulman, Douglas Crimp, William E. Jones, Ian White, Patrick Staff, Martine Syms and many others.
