Leo Palmestål

2010

Sweden / 7 mins
Same-sex marriages were legalized in Sweden in 2009. At the end of the Pride parade in Gothenburg the following year, live weddings on the stage were meant to celebrate this.

Authority is a part of Dirty Diaries. A woman is caught by a police officer in the act of painting graffiti on a wall. She runs from the scene, with the police in hot pursuit. Perhaps the police officer knows her own fate when she sets off on the chase. Perhaps she obeys to the will of the graffiti artist. Clearly, somebody needs to be punished. In Authority sex is a dirty game, a beautiful fairy tale, it's a threat, a promise.

Bears Marc Klasfeld
Bears

Marc Klasfeld

2007

USA / 90 mins
First, a note of explanation: a 'bear' in the gay subculture refers to a homosexual man with exaggerated masculine qualities -- notably a hairy chest -- who shuns effeminate gay behavior. Each February since 1992, the Mr. International Bear Contest has transpired in San Francisco, with the contestants competing against one another for the title of top bear. Former music-video director Marc Klasfeld helms the documentary Bears -- a headfirst plunge straight into the heart of this gay subculture. Klasfeld begins with a glance back at the first such competition, from 1992 (with an extended on-camera appearance by winner John Caldera), then travels to the 2006 competition for a visit with several of the participants -- including reps from San Francisco, Kentucky, New York, and other areas -- and documentary coverage of the event itself.

Beyond Hate Crimes

Musa Ngubane

2008

South Africa / 18 mins
In South Africa, hate crimes are escalating in the townships. In a country with a progressive constitution – one that protects the rights of all individuals, violent homophobic acts against lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transexuals and intersexuals (LGBTI) force people to remain in the closet out of fear. In this film, several organisations and a lot of brave and angry women get together to ensure that Sizakele, Salome, Lorna, Gugu, Zoliswa, Fannyann, Thokozane, Eudy and others do not become just another crime statistic.

Tutti esponenti di una cultura gay dove gli orsi rappresentano gli uomini irsuti, dalla corporatura robusta e dall’aspetto spiccatamente , mentre il lupo è molto peloso, ma di stazza più asciutta. I cacciatori infine sono i gay attratti dagli orsi. Questo documentario racconta il mondo poco conosciuto della comunità ursina italiana dove gli stereotipi dell’immaginario gay vengono rielaborati e spesso rovesciati, oltre gli stereotipi dell’immaginario comune.

2007

Italy / 20 mins
Grüne Rose è il cortometraggio che celebrala memoria dell’Olocausto dei triangoli rosa, lo sterminio degli omosessuali sotto il regime nazista. Le scene del film sono ispirate alle litografie di Richard Grüne(1903-1983), artista tedesco omosessuale arrestato e incarcerato dalle SS (1936), poi deportato nei lager di Sachsenhausen (1937-1940) e Flossenburg (1940-1945). Nove anni all’inferno, una martirio cui Grune sopravvisse per tramandarci la sua testimonianza umana e artistica. Sul set di Grüne Rose è nata questa serie di immagini fotografiche, che corrispondono ad altrettante stazioni della memoria: un percorso che riconduce alla vicenda di Richard Grüne ed è la tragica allegoria di un pregiudizio che esiste ancora oggi persecuzione, tortura e sterminio.

Kevin's Room 3: Together

Dave Beedy,

2007

USA / 90 mins
It began with the release of Kevin's Room in 2001 - a boldly innovative effort by the Chicago Department of Health's Office of Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender (LGBT) Health to address the crisis of HIV/AIDS in the African American gay community. The groundbreaking film introduced Kevin and his support group for men "in the life," garnering national accolades for its realistic, positive portrayal of LGBT people of color and their allies.
Kevin's Room II: Trust released in 2003, reinforced the message of inclusion, tolerance and collective responsibility while tackling the related issues of monogamy, sexual boundaries, and the re-emergence of STD's.
Now, the story comes full circle in Kevin's Room: Together, the third and final installment of the acclaimed series. While continuing to explore many of the issues raised in the first two films, the third addresses new concerns reflected in today's headlines - violence, sexual identity, spirituality - and the ways in which a community can help shape its own future. Consistent with this theme, the third film broadens its focus, transcending sexual, gender and racial lines, suggesting such problems must be met with a cohesive voice.

Made Up

Canada / 5 mins
What is masculinity? What is it to be a man? How do these terms apply to the homosexual identity? In reaction to homophobic behaviour observed among gay men, Made Up criticizes how gays are often dismissed for being too “effeminate,” too “flamboyant” or not “straight-acting” enough. While the subject of an interview speaks of his physical preferences in men, the images show a man’s physical appearance gradually changing to contradict the narrative being told. Through manipulations of both sound and image, Made Up demonstrates how social constructs are made and how they can be deconstructed.

MY NAME IS JACKIE BEAT skillfully tells the story of the outrageously fabulous Jackie Beat, a girl who was born to be on stage.  Notorious bad girl drag performer Jackie Beat is center stage in this revealing portrait of an artist and his creation. You know Jackie Beat, but now meet Kent Fuher, the man behind the make-up, wig, and fabulous outfits-a talented and devilishly funny performer whose life is ruled by constant insecurities. As Kent travels between New York, Toronto, Los Angeles, Fire Island, and Berlin performing Jackie's signature song parodies and putting audiences in their place with wicked insults, he opens up about the past experiences that led to the creation of his delightfully twisted drag persona. Despite Kent's questioning, there's no doubt that he was meant to entertain.

Yukiya Ayase is a gentle, kind hearted, and innocent university student. The only relative he has left, his cousin Tetsuo, betrays Ayase by selling him to the highest bidder in an auction with hopes of making an enormous profit to be able to pay off his debts. Somuku Kanou, a bad-tempered (though very rich) loan shark, comes to Ayase's rescue and buys Ayase for an impressive 1.2 billion. Kanou apparently knows Ayase from something that happened between them in the past, but Ayase cannot remember who Kanou is nor does he understand why he 'saved' him. In a desperate effort to keep Ayase close to him, Kanou demands the debt be repaid in full and suggests the perfect way to do it: by selling his body to Kanou for 500,000 each time. Ayase is horrified in the beginning, but something soon begins to grow between them that can't be bought for any price.

Martin Taylor

10 mins
Living alone on his over-grown allotment, the cyclist is seen by the local children as a real-life bogeyman. The tiny graves dotted around his greenhouse are all the evidence they need. One morning, as Rosie, a particularly curious little girl, is spying on him from nearby bush, she realises that all the stories are true as she sees him preparing a dead hedgehog for his breakfast. Confronting him she discovers that he actually collects dead animals killed on the surrounding roads, and buries them in the earth of his allotment. Despite his mute and crooked demeanour - the result, as Rosie learns, of a cycling accident - a tacit friendship grows between them. The problem arises when, following the death of an injured rabbit, Rosie follows him late one evening as he leaves to patrol the nearby roads for stricken animals. Seeing the cyclist waiting, inert and emotionless, as a car approaches a hedgehog crossing the road, Rosie cannot stand by. Peddling frantically across the road she is knocked from her bicycle by the speeding car which crashes into a nearby tree. In a blind rage, the cyclist leaps from his tricycle, knocking over the dazed motorist. The thud as the driver's head strikes the tarmac silences him immediately. It is then that the cyclist hears Rosie's voice, cooing over the uninjured hedgehog. A moment after they disappear around the corner, a car comes speeding up the hill towards the injured driver, who lies prone and bleeding on the dark road.

Royal Radical Fashion Movie

Robert B Suda

2007

Hungary / 55 mins
 World-wide known and acclaimed Tamás Király is a sheer Hungaricum because of his unusual, sensational style, and because of his clothes which follow his mind freeley. His creations are fully hand-made. According to the STERN magazine he is the pope of fashion.

"From VOGUE to ID every major fashion magazine wrote about him. As a single Eastern European fashion designer he presented his creations together with Vivienne Westwood. Interview and portray movies were made about him by the BBC, the ZDF, and the TV5. His objectified dreams could be described as minimalist, constructivist and as belonging to the mysterious world of the kitsch."

Tamás Király, an avant-garde top fashion designer of Hungary, started his career in the 80s. His early creations were characterised by strict geometrical forms; later he turned toward a glittering style and designed gilded and silver-lame garments. He also organises so-called "fashion promenades", usually in the city centre of Budapest.

The small spaces of an apartment contain issues of international scale in this intimate documentary. Lebanese law criminalises LGBT people, making them vulnerable to blackmail and attack – sometimes from state police – and preventing the report of hate crime. With safety and concern an apartment was hired where interviewees could speak freely. What emerges is a snapshot of queer life in urban Lebanon, described by Arab people from a variety of faiths and cultural backgrounds. From growing up in a war zone to the rise of Hezbollah and the shock of renewed conflict with Israel, issues of identity, safety and freedom combine with issues of sexuality and gender. Despite differing backgrounds and opinions these eloquent men and women share the struggle to live authentically in a culture that denies their existence.

From a staunch Baptist family, Mya is bound to tell the truth about her new relationship, something that Taylor has trouble doing, and matters come to a head. Astute and engaging, this low budget film depicts the obstacles that the intolerant expectations of a community place in the path of true love.
