BOYS VILLAGE – Dir. Till Kleinert (UK/Germany) 22mins 2011
The Boys’ Village was once a holiday home for coalminers’ sons, boasting a pool, sports yards and even a chapel of its own. Not much remains of its former glory, though. Shattered glass and debris are all over the place; graffiti on the walls. There are countless trap falls and opportunities for injury. This is a parent’s nightmare and yet it can be heaven on earth for a certain kind of child. It more or less is for Kevin. He has been eleven years old for quite some time now. Has it been years or decades?

Michael Lucas Plans Documentary On Being LGBT In Russia & Wants Funding

November 2, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

In the last couple of years Michael Lucas has moved himself from just being a producer of gay porn to becoming much more political, mainly defending Israel against it detractors. That includes making a documentary about gay life in Tel Aviv.

Now he’s planning another documentary, this one focussing on the situation for LGBT people in Russia, particularly now that recent changes in the law have made things increasingly difficult for gay people. Now he’s hoping to find funding for it on Kickstarter. It’s another subject that’s close to home for Lucas (his Jewish heritage has helped make him a fierce defender of Israel), as he grew up in Russian.

As Lucas says on the Kickstarter page, ‘I am currently finishing a feature length documentary “Campaign of Hate: Russia and Gay Propaganda” about gay life in modern Russia. Since growing up as a confused gay child in the former Soviet Union, it has been my dream to show the world a vision of what it is like to be a member of the LGBT community in my former homeland.

As most of the world moves forward toward gay equality, Russia is seemingly heading backward. Antigay sentiment and legislation are spreading rapidly throughout the country. Earlier this year, the Russian parliament passed a ban on so-called “gay propaganda” that effectively makes nearly any public discussion of gay equality a crime. The city of Moscow has outlawed Gay Pride parades for the next 100 years. Adoption of Russian children is forbidden to citizens of any foreign country that permits gay marriage. And legislation is now being considered that would permit the Russian government to remove gay people’s children from their homes. The Kremlin has chosen the LGBT community as its scapegoat in a populist campaign against supposedly decadent “Western” values, and there are ominous signs of much worse to come. Violent attacks against Russian gays or suspected gays are more and more common. Videos of young LGBT people being taunted and tortured have been widely distributed on the Internet.

‘Those are the stories that get the headlines, but there is much more to the Russian LGBT men and woman I have met. It is my hope that this documentary will educate viewers to their reality.’

Lucas is hoping to raise $70,000 to complete the film. If you’d like to help, head over to KickStarter. [Read more…]

New Kill Your Darlings Clip Has Daniel Radcliffe Reading Alan Ginsberg’s Poetry

October 14, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

While there been a lot of talk about the fact Daniel Radcliffe is playing gay in Kill Your Darlings, there’s been less interest in the fact he’s playing one of the most renowned poets of the 20th Century, Alan Gisberg. While Kill Your Darlings is set before Ginsberg wrote seminal works such as Howl, a new clip show Alan reading some of his youthful verse to Lucien Carr (Dane DeHaan), with Radcliffe ensuring the whole thing is infused with a sense of young love.

Based on a true story, Kill Your Darlings charts how a murder helped shape the lives of a group of young men who went on to become the beat generation. Dane DeHaan plays Lucien Carr, the man who introduced Howl writer Allen Ginsberg (Radcliffe) to the likes of William S. Burroughs (Ben Foster) and Jack Kerouac (Jack Huston).

During these early, hedonistic days, a man called David Kammerer (Michael C. Hall) fell for Carr, with his infatuation becoming increasingly obsessive and unhinged – the gay Ginsberg once discovered Kammerer trying to murder Jack Kerouac’s cat. It eventually resulted in Carr stabbing Kammerer to death him and going to prison for his murder. The violent event is said to have indelibly changed all the people involved and etched its way into the published works of the Beat writers. You can watch the trailer here.

The film’s out in the US on October 16th, with the UK release recently shifted to December 6th. [Read more…]
