Last Man Out

Walt Whitman's "Leaves Of Grass" proves transformative for the ghost of a handsome young Civil War soldier and a closeted middle-aged accountant, both of whom want out of the prisons that confine them.

Wenn Mutti wüsste...

Seven heart-rending short films, seven approaches to a special relationship: When it comes to his mother, every gay man will immediately think of Sunday roasts, fresh laundry and hidden porn magazines, of the warmth of the nest and pubertal rebellion, of a mixture of intimate connection and hidden feelings, complicity and emancipation. Coming out (Mum, I have to tell you something...) is just one of many facets. But even if you can talk to her about everything - there are some things Mama shouldn't know... With the films: - Peking Turkey (CA) 2006 13 minutes - Herzhaft (DE) 2006, 13 minutes - HitchCocked (USA) 2006, 8 minutes - Implicación (ES) 2004, 6 minutes - Kali Ma (USA) 2007, 14 minutes - Mors lille Ole (SE) 2003, 14 minutes - Bonus film: Trevor (USA) 1994, 19 minutes

Boy Crush

Seven short films in which gay youths and young men negotiate society, sometimes successfully, sometimes not. In several, teen boys come out, perhaps first to a close friend - how will the friends react? For some youths, coming out risks violence. In two films, love is thwarted - by mother, in one, and by immigration, in another. The collection includes "Summer" (Great Britain), "Night Swimming" (USA), "Running Without Sound" (USA), "Out Now" (Germany), "Œdipe N+1" (France), "Hitchcocked" (USA), and "The Bridge" (Australia).

Hitchcocked

Al and Fred hook up for a little casual fun that soon turns ugly, revealing some fateful truths about Internet-dating, love and death.
