Abstract | Abstract
This text outlines and contextualizes the methodological and stylistic choices underpinning the video essay An Infinite Spectrum of Colours. Teaching Gender Issues Through Prisma, whose theoretical implications are further developed in the homonymous essay included in this special issue. Focusing on the representation of coming out in the television series Prisma (Amazon Prime Video, 2022-2024), it discusses the montage strategies, aesthetic decisions, and intertextual references employed to construct a critical and pedagogical discourse on non-binary and fluid gender identities. By embracing the video essay as a form of cinécriture, the text reflects on its potential as a tool for research, teaching, and media education—capable of combining analytical rigor with emotional engagement.
