Gay Short Films : 96


Brazil Carnival (Brazil)
It is an explicit carnival with penises and butts dancing with the rhythm of samba. It is a film that emphasizes the freedom of expression. Portraits the carnival as a kind of an orgy / a consented orgy, where you explore your desires and fantasies and be who you really are.

Faceless (USA)
Faceless is the story of anyone who doesn't fit the stereotypical image of a community. From the perspective of a faceless man the film attempts to bring to the fore the problems or discrimination, segregation and white supremacy within the gay community in North America.

Sonnet 18 (South Korea)
Seung Min wants to write an honest scenario. To get some inspiration, Seung Min decides not to get out of his room, only watching movies and writing. His friend and would-be actor, Jung Soo hears the news and worries him. One day, a man with a mask comes to Seung Min to invite to a masquerade.

BBC HARDtalk - Robbie Rogers (UK)
Stephen Sackur speaks to Robbie Rogers, a US international footballer who plays for LA Galaxy. He broke the sport's great taboo by very publicly coming out after a spell in English football. But why haven't other gay footballers followed his lead?

Gus Kenworthy - 3 videos 
These are three separate videos where in one he shares his coming out story with Conan and Teen Vogue. And Finally hairstylist Krieger eases Kenworthy into the conversation with some softball questions before getting to the titular question of whether he is cut or uncut.

The Beauty Brother (USA)
Presented in five vignettes, and starring Kevin and Paul (brothers of Matt Dillon,) The Beauty Brothers offers-up the romance, desire, dreamscapes and frustrations of youth. These five films each of under 2 minutes are Junk Food Conversation, Bedroom Bongos, Dream Wheels, Poolhopping, and Runaway.

Trade Center (USA)
The voices of five gay men who cruised for sex at the World Trade Center in the 1980s and 1990s haunt the sanitized, commerce-driven landscape that is the newly rebuilt Freedom Tower campus, shot over the course of one day in late February 2020. It was interesting to hear people's stories and had a smile on my face. I can only imagine the thrill and fun of those cruising days.

Our Father (USA)
When their father dies two young men discover a stack of love letters although they knew of no one in his life. Tensions rise when they begin to suspect that the writer of the letters was another man. I have seen films with similar theme a few times now, so this really didn't do much for me. 

Blessing (USA)
When his father suffers a heart attack the elders in the Mormon community decide to conduct a priesthood blessing ceremony, gay son David asks to participate.

Quintessence (USA)
The former lover of man dying of AIDS goes for one last visit only to find the man missing and the man’s angry sister there. Together they reminiscence on the guy and the times they have spent with him, while looking for him.

The Last Secret (Australia)
A young man has a secret crush on his teacher and rather than admit his feelings to anyone, he takes his own life. He tells his "last secret" in a suicide note to his sister, because his parents would never understand. The final tragedy occurs when we find that the teacher has a secret crush of his own.

The Invitation (USA)
Jacob is dying and due to his sever case of social anxiety is unable to interact with others. After finding out that he is going to die, he organises his funeral and invites the public.

Buyer's Remorse (From 'Burning Palms')
A rich and well-recognized West Hollywood gay couple decide to adopt a seven-year-old African girl. They prove to be mentally unprepared for the challenges and risks involved in parenthood, especially since she is a decided mute who refuses to speak to them, and abandon her.

Besides the last short, which was a bot funny, this is one of the worst set of short films I have ever seen. Pretty much every single short film here is absolutely not worth watching at all. Avoid !!

The Shortest Distance is Round 3: Fallen Flowers

Continuing with the weird trilogy of "The Shortest Distance", I am so glad that finally I am done with part 3 and won't have to deal with this again in future. Thankfully, as of now the makers have not announced any further parts; which will save all of us on this earth from the embarrassment of watching this in near future. After the first 10 minutes are used in sort of recapping bits of first two parts, the story moves forward. Haruto is now starting to have feelings for Ruka, the mysterious pole dancer from second part. In a fit of rage, Ruka ends up killing the goat man and to save him and Haruto, Shibahara asks them to go underground. Meanwhile Shibahara continues the search for Seiya (the guy who had cut off Haruto's penis). It turns out Seiya is now also taking care of the original club owner from part 1. Both of them were released after they had informed Shibahara of Aoyama's secret location. Shibahara tortures Seiya's boyfriend leading to Seiya killin

One Summer Night (Korean)

I really wanted to like this film but for non native speakers, these movie leaves a lot to be understood and the way scenes were unfolding in front of me, I wasn't sure many times what was really going on. The story had potential button getting any back story on any of the characters limited my ability to empathize with any of these actors. Film starts with two North Korea military guys Yong Joon and Jae Sung having sex and they are caught red handed and they run. Three years later we see Yong Joon in Seoul leading a very mundane and poor life. He has a boyfriend Tae-Kyu, who is a weird guy. He is carefree, doesn't do any work and is completely emotional and financially dependent on Young Joon. In fact, even Yong Joon will go to any lengths to protect him , fend for him and taking care of him to the extent of even taking up prostitution. Suddenly one day Jae Sung appears in their life again. His motivation is not clear but it is obvious he wants Yong Joon back in his life, who

Ultimate masturbation: Shigoki no yama (Japanese) [The Ultimate Masturbation]

I would never know what was the point behind making this film. Was it supposed to be a comedy, cos it wasn't. It wasn't even porn. It was just a silly attempt at making something absolutely senseless and ridiculous. The story, as well as direction is equally shoddy. You could laugh for having seen something so bad, but I wouldn't call that comedy. An old man runs a camp about gay masturbation. The explanation given is that gays masturbate for pleasure unlike straight men, for whom the act is seen as shame or because they can't find a woman. One day a straight man shows up and wants to join the camp for his thesis. After discussion, he is allowed in. Rules include that you can masturbate together, you can masturbate one another, but there is no fellatio or anal sex. Some students of course breaks rule. The teacher then talks about 2 forms of masturbation which gives ultimate pleasure. He shows one without touching and then refuses to talk of the other. Somehow suddenly,
