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…]

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…]

Daniel Craig Confirms He Will Indeed Play James Bond Again

August 16, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

He’s certainly kept Bond fans on the edge of their seat, but Daniel Craig has confirmed that he will indeed play James Bond in the upcoming 007 movie, which is currently just known as ‘Bond 25’. It puts to rest almost two years of speculation and rumour over whether he would be back or not.

Craig himself seemed to say it was the end of his tenure as Bond while promoting Spectre, with comments such as that he would “rather break this glass and slash my wrists” than play Bond again. However he and his representatives later clarified to say that he was merely talking about how he felt at that moment, following an arduous shoot and promotional schedule, and that he wasn’t ruling out a return.

Since then there have been all sorts of rumours, from suggestions he was signing on for two more movies for a record upfront payments, to reports that he was completely walking away and producers were already on the lookout for a replacement. The speculation has ramped up in recent months following the announcement of a November 2019 release date for Bond 25, which means it’s likely it’ll start shooting sometime later this year or early next.

Craig ended all the rumours on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, when he replied to a question about whether he would be back as Bond, by saying, “Yes…I always wanted to; I wanted a break.” [Read more…]

Cate Blanchett May Join Jack Black In Eli Roth’s House With A Clock In Its Walls

August 16, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Cate Blanchett and Jack Black aren’t the first people you’d think of for a movie directed by Eli Roth, the man behind Hostel, Cabin Fever and The Green Inferno. However, Black is already onboard his upcoming The House With A Clock In Its Walls, while Variety report Blanchett is not in talks to join him.

The film is an adaptation of John Bellairs 1973 novel, which was illustrated by Edward Gorey. It ‘tells the tale of a recently orphaned 10-year-old boy who discovers a world of hidden passageways, magic, and danger in his uncle’s old house.’

As that synopsis suggests, this is going to be different in tone the Roth’s often dark, gory and very grown-up movies. The House With A Clock In Its Walls is still in the horror wheelhouse, but Bellair’s book was written for younger readers, so it’s likely the movie will follow suit.

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.

Molly’s Game Trailer – Jessica Chastain stars in Aaron Sorkin’s feature directorial debut

August 15, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Aaron Sorkin has had plenty of success with the likes of TV’s The West Wing and The Newsroom, as well as writing the screenplays for movies such as The Social Network and Steve Jobs. Now though he’s stepping behind the camera for the first time with Molly’s Game (which unsurprisingly he also wrote).

Here’s the synopsis: ‘MOLLY’S GAME is the true story of Molly Bloom a beautiful, young, Olympic-class skier who ran the world’s most exclusive high-stakes poker game for a decade before being arrested in the middle of the night by 17 FBI agents wielding automatic weapons. Her players included Hollywood royalty, sports stars, business titans and finally, unbeknownst to her, the Russian mob. Her only ally was her criminal defense lawyer Charlie Jaffey, who learned that there was much more to Molly than the tabloids led us to believe.’

Sorkin has been accused of misogyny throughout his career, with many particularly upset about the way female characters were treated in The Newsroom. As a result of that (and Sorkin’s rather arrogant response to concerns about how he writes women), many are eyeing Molly’s Game warily because of this, especially as it centre on a female character. We’ll be able to see just what the movie is like when it’s released towards the end of the year. [Read more…]

The Meyerowitz Stories Trailer – Adam Sandler teams with Noah Baumbach for a critically praised movie

August 15, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

The words ‘Adam Sandler’ and ‘critical praise’ are rarely written in the same sentence, but it’s true of The Meyerowitz Stories, which debuted in competition at Cannes and got a lot of positive notices. While the presence of director Noah Baumbach probably helps, Sandler is apparently really good.

He’s also got some great actors in support including Ben Stiller, Dustin Hoffman and Emma Thompson. And all this for a movie that will be largely bypassing cinemas and going straight onto Netflix.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘From writer/director Noah Baumbach, The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected) is the emotional and comic intergenerational tale of adult siblings (Adam Sandler, Ben Stiller, and Elizabeth Marvel) contending with the long shadow their strong-willed father (Dustin Hoffman) has cast over their lives.  With an original screenplay by Baumbach, the film also stars Emma Thompson, Grace Van Patten, Adam Driver, Candice Bergen, Judd Hirsch, and Rebecca Miller. The film was produced by Scott Rudin, Baumbach, Lila Yacoub, and Eli Bush.

‘An Official Selection of Cannes Film Festival 2017, the film will make its North American premiere at this year’s New York Film Festival. The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected) will be released on Netflix and in select cinemas on October 13th.’

Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

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…]
