There is now no monoculturally queer cinéphile audience in Spain (if there ever was, or any more than elsewhere), and this book has been concerned with the interconnectedness of viewing, consuming, reading, surfing, zapping, cinema-and festival-going, borrowing and downloading. In this chapter the focus is on the traffic between popular literature and film and the role of cinematically connected writers in constructing queer culture in Spain – and in particular the role of the screenwriter. It also examines two biopics on queer writers. The connections between text and film in this context are several. Popular lesbian and gay literature has scriptwriter or actor protagonists and plot references to films and film going. Two high-profile novelists – Lucía Etxebarria and Vicente Molina Foix – are also a screenwriter and director respectively. Many screen-writers have a parallel activity as producers of popular fiction and journalistic essays and, as one of the novelist-directors studied in this chapter has reminded his readers, ‘los escritores [hoy], unos por cautela y otros sinceramente, conviven con el cine, cuentan con él en su repertorio imaginativo’ (Molina Foix 2009a) (‘nowadays writers, whether as a precautionary measure or genuinely, make cinema part of their lives and their imaginative repertoire draws on it’).
