Furious Desires Trailer – Passion & yearning in the upcoming gay short film collection

August 16, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Despite having a title that sounds a little too much like a 1990s straight ‘erotic thriller’, the gay-themed short film collection Furious Desires looks like it might be pretty good. It presents a series of films which, as the title suggests, looks at different forms of desire.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Desire is mysterious. Desire is overwhelming. Desire is tragic. Desire is FURIOUS. The many permutations of that strange thing called desire are on full display in this stunning collection of short films: Daytime Doorman tracks the burgeoning desire between Marcelo and his sexy doorman Marcio. Xavier charts the beginnings of desire, when Nicholas begins to notice his son, Xavier, only pays attention to certain types of boys. The Other Side is about the frustrations of unfulfilled desire when the object of your lust is beyond your reach- literally. The Tigers Fight explores what happens when one man, unbound by the ancient traditions, decides to subvert what s expected of him to declare his desire for his best friend, and finally, in Loris Is Fine we learn about the lengths two young lovers will go to prove that their love is beyond desire.’

The collection will be out on DVD in the UK on September 25th. Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

Even Lovers Get The Blues Trailer – Sex, searching and pansexual passion in the LGBT-themed film

August 16, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

If it’s a French LGBT-themed film it’s problably going to be moody, a bit (pseudo-)intellectual and have plenty of sex in it. That may be an over-generalisation, but it looks like it’s true of Even Lovers Get The Blue.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Ana is sleeping with Hugo, Dalhia with Graciano, Léo with Louis, and Arthur with everyone. Parties and love affairs lead to heart searching, deep desires and the craving to live life to the full. Even Lovers Get the Blues draws the portrait of the love and sexual lives of disenchanted and passionate young people.’

The movie is due out in the UK on November 6th. Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

Seat In Shadow Trailer – An unexpected connection between an unconventional therapist/artist & a young gay man

August 16, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Synopsis: Albert is an eccentric, ageing painter who doubles as an unconventional, Jung-inspired psychotherapist. When his friend asks him to counsel her grandson Ben, whose boyfriend problems are fuelling an already deep depression, their subsequent therapy sessions reveal as much about Albert as they do about Ben.

Filmed on location in Glasgow, Seat In Shadow is the debut feature from writer/ director Henry Coombes. it received its world premiere at Edinburgh International Film Festival in 2016, receiving a Michael Powell Award nomination. It also won Best Micro Feature Award at Berlin Independent Film Festival 2017 and played at BFI Flare. Supported by Creative Scotland, this is a witty study of social mores and sexual excess where the boundaries between doctor and patient, artist and muse become increasingly blurred.

Produced by award-winning La Belle Allée, who are responsible for Tinsel Town, BAFTA-winning One Life Stand and co-produced Nicholas Winding Refn’s Valhalla Rising, Seat In Shadowstars David Sillars, Marcella McIntosh and newcomer Jonathan ‘Jonty’ Leslie.

The movie will be released on DVD in the UK on September 25th. [Read more…]

Upcoming London Event Wants To Explore The World Of Queer Feminist Porn

August 15, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

What is feminist porn? It’s a question many people wouldn’t even know where to start with, partly because (straight) porn and feminism are often presented as being completely antithetical to one another. However, many feel that the divide between the two is an artificial one, and that porn can be made from a feminist perspective and without the objectification of women that is often so problematic in normal porn.

A one-off event at The Book Club in London plans to take a look at this, with ‘Feminist Porn: where to find it and how to feel good watching it’.

The owner and director of Dreams of Spanking, Pandora Blake, will guide attendees ‘through the wild and wonderful world of feminist porn. As a queer pornographer and sexual liberties campaigner (as well as a lover of tea, cats and caning), Pandora will discuss how you can access porn that turns you on but doesn’t make you feel as though you’re contributing to exploitation. Come along to discover the world of porn which exists outside the male gaze, and learn more about what it means to work in the porn industry as a feminist. #SuperCulture Sex Ed for Grown Ups, a new series of events on sex, sexuality and gender – from science to strip-tease. And because you’re a fully fledged adult now, you can do all of this with a drink in-hand.’

The event takes place at The Book Club on Leonard Street in London on August 31st, starting at 7.30pm. You can book a ticket on the website.

The World’s Largest LGBT Short Film Prize, Iris Prize, Announces Its 2017 Shortlist

August 14, 2017 By Tim Isaac 1 Comment

This October, the wonderful Iris Prize festival will launch once again in Cardiff, Wales, centred around its its short film programme, which precedes the awarding of the world’s largest LGBT Short Film prize. This year’s shortlist for that massive prize has now been announced, which features 35 shorts from 20 countries – and even a nod for a film directed by Danny DeVito.

One of the main things that makes Iris special is that the main award is structured around helping a filmmaker to create a new short film. The winner receives £30,000 worth of funding and expertise (supported by The Michael Bishop Foundation) which has resulted in some great new films, all backed by Iris.

Previous winners have included Dee Rees (US) – 2007, Till Kleinert (Germany) – 2008, Eldar Rapaport (Israel/US) – 2009, Magnus Mork (Norway) – 2010, Daniel Ribeiro (Brazil) – 2011, Grant Scicluna (Australia) – 2012, Tim Marshall (Australia) – 2013, Brendan McDonall (Australia) – 2014, Arkasha Stevenson – 2015 (US) and Toby Fell-Holden – 2016 (UK), many of whom have gone on to create more fab LGBT-themed shorts and feature films.

This year Brendon McDonald, who was the popular 2014 winner of the Iris Prize and the 3rd Australian to take the Iris Prize, is the first winner to be shortlisted again, after his film school in Sydney submitted his latest short film The Dam. The Dam is the story of a lifelong friendship which comes under siege when two mature men visit the monolithic dam that defined their young lives and are confronted by feelings
that were impounded long ago, but cannot be contained any longer.

There’s also a short from none other than Danny DeVito. Curmudgeons was directed, produced and stars the popular New York actor. The film has already played extensively on the international circuit including BFI Flare, London and Frameline in San Francisco who nominated the film, which features two men who discover love late in life.

You can find out more about the impressively eclectic lineup for this year’s Iris Prize over on the festival’s official website. And to give you a taster, take a look at montage of the competing films below.

The 2017 Iris Prize Festival runs from October 10th-15th in Cardiff, Wales. [Read more…]

Leonardo DiCaprio Is Going To Play Leonardo Da Vinci, But Will He Be Gay?

August 13, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Leonardo DiCaprio apparently got his name after his mother felt him kick in the womb while she was looking at a Leonardo da Vinci painting in the Uffizi in Florence. It’s perhaps not too much of a surprise then that the now fully grown Leo would be interested in playing the renaissance genius in a movie.

His wish has come a step closer as Paramount has beaten Universal to the rights to Walter Isaacson’s upcoming book on da Vinci, which comes with DiCaprio set to star. The actor will also produce via his Appian Ways production company, according to Variety.

Not too much more info is known about the movie, such as whether it will be a complete birth-to-death biopic, or whether it will focus on just part of the artist and inventor’s rather complex life. It’ll also be interesting to see how it deals with da Vinci’s sexuality, as many people presume he was gay – but scholars disagree whether he was actively gay, or whether he was completely celibate (none of his writings shed much light on the matter). What is known is that he was charged with sodomy in 1476, although it was dismissed as the accusation was made anonymously. Some believe he may have had relationships with men before this but become celibate afterwards.

We will have to wait and see how it’s handled in the DiCaprio film (or whether he just becomes straight).

A Series About The Rise Of A Young RuPaul Is Coming To Hulu

August 10, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

A few days ago RuPaul mentioned in an interview that there was a TV show about his early life in the works, adding that JJ Abrams was behind it and Willow Smith could play him. At the time it was difficult to know if he was being serious or not, but it turns out he was.

THR reports that the show has now found a home at Hulu, although there’s no mention of whether Smith really will be involved. As well as Abrams, World of Wonder’s Fenton Bailey, Tom Campbell and Randy Barbato will also be involved – they have a long track record of LGBT entertainment, including Party Monster, Mapplethorpe: Look at the Pictures and, of course, RuPaul’s Drag Race.

The series will be a fictionalised take of RuPaul’s rise, starting when he was a club kid and following how he became the world’s most famous drad performer and a gay icon. RuPaul was ‘born in San Diego in 1960 and studied performing arts in Atlanta before moving to New York, where he became a staple on the nightclub scene. He rocketed to fame after the release of his first single, “Supermodel (You Better Work).” That led to a VH1 talk show, The RuPaul Show. He has been the host of RuPaul’s Drag Race and multiple spinoffs since 2009.’

Grace Jones: Bloodlight and Bami Trailer – An in-depth look at the enigmatic gay icon

August 8, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

There’s no one quite like Grace Jones, a singer, model and performance artist who has always defied expectations, and often seemed like a deliberate enigma. From the 1980s many haven’t known what to make of her, but with her bold look and sexuality, she became beloved by many gay men – something she has been more than happy to reciprocate.

Now a new documentary, Grace Jones: Bloodlight and Bami, is set to take a close look her. The first trailer has now arrived, which you can take a look at below.

The move will debut at the Toronto International Film Festival, which writes, ‘Filmed over the course of a decade, the new documentary from director Sophie Fiennes (The Pervert’s Guide to Ideology) offers a stylish and unconventional look at the Jamaican-born model, singer, and New Wave icon.’

It’ll be out in the UK in October. [Read more…]

The Will & Grace Revival Has Already Been Renewed For A Second Season

August 7, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

When it was announced earlier this year that Will & Grace was returning for a new season, it looked like it would probably be a one-off event. However, while they’ve only just started shooting the new episodes, a second new Will & Grace season featuring 13-more episodes has already been commissioned, while an additional four episode of the upcoming season have been added, bringing the total to 16.

It’s certainly a big turnaround from a year ago, where when talk first emerged of a revival follow a special mini online election episode, it appeared it was NBC who were the holdups. At the time they seemed unsure whether there was any life in the franchise. Instead they’ve found it’s already one of the most anticipated shows of the year.

Eric McCormack, Debra Messing, Sean Hayes, and Megan Mullally are all returning – and it apparently took them all less than a minute to agree to reunite for a new season – and they are also now onboard for another season too. Will & Grace will be back on TV in the US on September 28th, and will hopefully be seen in other countries shortly afterwards.
