Gays je serija o četiri njujorška prijatelja koji zajednički prolaze kroz velegradski život. Huxley je duhoviti konobar koji želi da se dokaže kao fotograf, Ben introvertni lik koji radi za razne gay neprofitne organizacije, Jackson bogati promiskuitetni klinac i Cameorn dramatična drag queen koja voli stare holivudske filmove. U New Yorku uvjek morate paziti na sebe, ali malo laži, tajni i obmana uvjek dobro dođe kada treba ostvariti svoj cilj. Posebno u pederskom svijetu.
Serija pomalo liči na Looking u produkciji HBO.

GAYS: The Series will be a web based dramedy that will follow four twenty something gay best friends navigating the tumultuous terrain of NYC. It may seem very similar to HBO’s Looking but the web series seems to target an even younger demo which we’re REALLY excited to see the authenticity of their portrayal. Huxley, a quick witted waiter and aspiring photographer. Ben, an attractive introvert who works for a gay non-profit. Jackson, a promiscuous overgrown rich kid. And Cameron, a dramatic drag queen with a love for old Hollywood. In this city you always have to look out for yourself; but the little lies, mini compromises and secrets they keep could derail their dreams and destroy their happiness.

Old Dogs & New Tricks celebrates Thanksgiving in its latest episode “Thanks But No Thanks,” directed by series creator Leon Acord, now playing at http://youtu.be/jHwf76SzY8k!

As the gang gathers at Ross’ house for the holiday, Lydia (Amanda Gari) is thrilled to introduce the guys to her new boyfriend (Andy Gates). But despite her happiness and Ross’ recent good news, it seems she’s the only one in a festive mood.

While the guys rave about Nathan’s new beau Jake (Curtis Wayne Brown), Nathan (Acord) can’t stop wondering how Damian is spending the holiday.  Muscles (Jeffrey Patrick Olson) complains that dating Lucas is making him fat. Ross’ (David Pevsner) holiday is ruined when a drunken Neal (Parnell Damone Marcano) crashes.  And then Brad (Curt Bonnem) drops a bombshell:  he’s becoming a gigolo!  

Did Acord enjoy his first stint in the director’s chair?

“I was a bit nervous at first,” says Acord.  “But I must confess that it was so easy! I’d forget I was the director. Folks would be waiting for me to call ‘cut’!  But that’s because our actors know their characters so well. Each of our directors has told me, at one point or another, that these actors direct themselves. And it’s true.  Plus, we have a wonderful crew that I trust one-hundred percent. There were some shots where I didn’t even look in the viewfinder!”

The series returns next Wednesday with its fourth new episode, “To Have & Have Not,” directed by Steven Curtis.

Nakon što je u aprilu  2012. godine na filmskom festivalu u San Petersburgu cenzurisan kratki film "BETWEEN BODIES" kao dirktna poslijedica ruskog zakona o anti gay propagandi reditelj Anais Sartini je snimio ovaj kratki film koji nam prikazuje kako gejevi u Rusiji gube dio svog identiteta i naprosto postaju nevidljivi u ruskom društvu.

Clément, francuski glumac odlazi na filmski festival u San Peterburgu i ubrzo nakon dolaska shvata da je za ostale ljude nevidljiv. Niko ga ne može vidjeti niti čuti.
Prolazeće pored jednog gradskog izloga primjetio je da ne vidi svoj odraz u ogledalu. Susreće jednog gej momka koji ga je zamolio za upaljač kako bi upalio cigaretu. Začuđen kako ga on može vidjeti, a ostali ne, Andrej mu objašnjava da su u rusiji svi gejevi nestali za sav ostali svijet. Nemaju prava da budu vidljivi.
Moli Clémenta da kada se vrati u Paris prenese poruku svijetu da gej ljudi u Rusiji još uvjek postoje, da osjećaju,da vide i čuju i da im treba pomoć za koji mogu jedino reći Spasibo - Hvala.

The film get the Special Prize for human rights at the Cinema and Human Rights Film Festival, Amnesty International, Paris 2012.

Clément, a French actor, goes to Saint Petersburg to participate into a film festival. When he gets there, he realizes he has disappeared: nobody can hear him and see him. He meets Andrei, a Russian gay who lives the same thing.

In april 2012, our short-film BETWEEN BODIES has been censored by the Parisian Season’s Festival in Saint-Petersbourg. A law, which came into force the 17 march 2012, prohibits «the propaganda of homosexuality».
In reaction to the censoreship, we came to Saint Petersbourg to make SPASIBO. This short-film denounces the social invisibility who are reduced homosexuals in Russia. The film is marked by urgency and spontaneity in which it was made.

Hunted in Russia ( 2014)

Hunted in Russia ( 2014)

Director: Ben Steele
Written: Ben Steele
Genre: Documentary
Country: UK
Year: 2014

Produced: Channel 4

Procjenjuje se da samo jedan posto ruske LGBT populacije živi otvoreno, dok velika većima i dalje javno ne progovara o svojoj spolnoj orijentaciji.

Homoseksualnost nije ilegalna u Rusiji, no zakon o zabrani gej propagande poprilično komplicira svakodnevni život LGBT populaciji. Naime, aktivisti ne smiju javno spominjati homoseksualnost. Također im je zabranjeno okupljanje u skupine  u kojima bi se članove pozivalo na „izlazak iz ormara“, podcrtava Out magazine.

HBO je takođe emitovao dokumentarac Hunted: The War Against Gays in Russia“ (Progonjeni: Rat protiv gejeva u Rusiji) koji je na istu temu prikazao svjedočanstva gejeva u Rusiji koji su preživjeli teror homofobičnih huligana.

Hunted in Russia explores the terror that gay people in Russia are calling the "hunting season". This shocking documentary offers unique access to vigilante groups that track down, beat up and humiliate gay men and women. It depicts a country troubled by disturbing homophobic violence and intimidation -- a country in which gay people are treated like animals and hunted for sport.

In Russia, gay men and women are “hunted like animals.” That’s the chilling message in HBO’s new documentary about the war against LGBT Russians, “Hunted: The War Against Gays in Russia.”

Though homosexuality was legalized 20 years ago in Russia, homophobic violence is on the rise in the country, and according to the documentary, it might be a plot by the government to distract Russians from the nation’s many problems. The situation is so bad that it’s thought only one percent of gay and lesbian Russians live openly.

Montreal Boy: Some Strings Attached (2014)


Directed by Olivier Labonté Lemoyne
Produced by JIMMY LEE
Genre: Webserie
Country: Canada
Language: English
Year: 2014


An american production In collaboration with LOGO and Tourisme Montréal
With Francis Ducharme, Matthew Ludwinski, Nicolas Racicot, Alexandra Lipskaia

Webserija iz radionice LOGO tv kuće, a koji je producirao Jimmy Lee u saradnji sa Tourisme Montréal.  
Serija ima priču koja je večini nas poznata, ali uvijek je nekako drugačija.
Stéphane (Francis Ducharme), zgodan i uspješan arhitekta iz Montreala preko interneta upoznaje  zgodnjikavog i lepršavog momka iz New Yorka po imenu Hugh (Matthew Ludwinski).
Nakon svadje sa svojim ex momkom (Matt) impulsivno poziva Hugha da ga posjeti u Montreal.
Nekoliko dana kasnije potpuno neočekivano dobija poruku od Hugha da je stigao u njegov grad.
Stéphane  koji je tek izašao iz veze potrudi se da bude dobar domaćin.

Seriju je lako odgledati jer ima 6 kratkih epizoda koje sve zajedno traju oko 25 minuta.
Mene je podsjetilo na jednog momka kojeg sam upoznao preko interneta. Dosta dugo smo se dopisivali i na kraju odlučimo da se upoznamo. Da ne bi bilo ni kod mene ni kod njega našli smo se na Paliću kod Subotice i nakon toga otišli u Segedin gdje smo proveli nezaboravan vikend. Išli po restoranima, šetali p gradu, noćnim klubovima, seksali se do iznemoglosti u iznajmljenom apartmanu, pričali o sebi i onome šta volimo, pa čak i o stvarima koje ljudi obično zadrže za sebe.
Nakon toga je došao dan kada se moramo razdvojiti i vratiti se svojim ranijim životima.

Ostane tako neka gorčina sa gomilom pitanja na koje nemamo odgovore, ali i sjećanje na tamo nekog za koga definitivno možemo reći da je ona srodna duša koju nismo mogli zadržati za sebe.

Montreal Boy - some strings attached (complete season 1) from Olivier Labonté LeMoyne on Vimeo.

Created by Logo and producer Jimmy Lee in partnership with Tourisme Montréal, the six-part series takes place over a weekend in the life of Montreal native Stéphane, (actor Francis Ducharme). He’s a handsome young architect with a bright career and a rich social life, although he hasn’t quite gotten over his ex, Matt (Nico Racicot). But things are looking up. He’s met a sexy New Yorker named Hugh (Matthew Ludwinski) online and Hugh is coming to Montreal for an unexpected weekend visit.

You might recognize Ludwinski as the star of Going Down in La-La Land. The adorable French Canadian Ducharme may be less well known to TheBacklot readers, but trust us, he’s definitely worth googling!

One of the aims of this project is to promote travel to Montreal, and it’s true the gorgeous city figures prominently in the web series. But we don’t think that gets in the way of a beautifully shot, intimate story of two gay men tentatively negotiating the beginning of a relationship. Check out the first two episodes below. We’ll be posting additional installments of Montreal Boy: Some Strings Attached each Monday afternoon for the next several weeks.

Gerontophilia (2013)

Gerontophilia (2013)


Director: Bruce La Bruce
Writers: Bruce La Bruce (story), Bruce La Bruce (screenplay),Daniel Allen Cox
Genre: Drama
Country: Canada
Language: English, French
Also Known As: Geron, Gérontophilie, Gerontofilija
Year: 2013
Duration: 82 min


Stars: Pier-Gabriel Lajoie, Walter Borden, Katie Boland, Marie-Hélene Thibault, Yardly Kavanagh

Gerontofilija je naziv za seksualnu sklonost prema osobama starije životne dobi. Neki je autori smatraju parafilijom, dok drugi smatraju da je riječ o pojavi koja se može definirati kao svaka sklonost prema seksualnoj osobi starijoj od sebe.
(izv. Wikipedia)

Seksualna sklonost prema starim osobama je sama po sebi izopačenost kao što se tretira i pedofilija. Ukoliko je seksualni čin izvršen prema nemoćnoj osobi, na silu i bez slobodne volje i rasuđivanja stare osobe, podliježe krivičnom zakonu i kao takvo se tretira kao kriminalni čin.

Naprosto sam osjetio potrbu da napišem ovo jer se u javnosti gerontofilija rijetko spominje.
Iako nisam nešto mnogo upućen u sve to mislim da treba praviti razliku između starije osobe koja može svjesno da donosi odluke u vezi dobrovoljnog stupanja u seksualni odnos i osobe koja to nije u stanju.
Najstrašniji zločin je zloupotrijebiti staru osobu i potrebno je ljude koje to rade sankcionisati izuzetno strogo.

Gerontophilia - website - homepage VO SUB FR from Filmoption International on Vimeo.

Medjutim u ovom filmu se ne radi o tome iako sam naziv aludira na zločin. 

Lake je neobičan mladić, izgledom mlad, no stare duše, koji otkriva svoju neobičnu fiksaciju na starije osobe. Shvaćajući da će i sam jednog dana, ako sudbina dopusti, biti starac, Lake postaje fasciniran starijim muškarcima. Njihovu dob doživljava kao nešto prelijepo i razmišlja kako su i ti muškarci jednom bili mladi, poletni i privlačni kao što je on sada. Iako Lake ima djevojku svojih godina, Desiree, ponekad se pita je li njegova fiksacija na starije muškarce neprirodna i nezdrava – možda čak i seksualna. Tijekom ljeta započinje raditi kao ispomoć u staračkom domu te dolazi do otkrića da starije osobe smještene u domu bivaju drogirane lijekovima kako bi bile u katatoničnom stanju. U cijelom procesu otkrivanja istine sprijateljuje se s gospodinom Peabodyjem, koji očigledno još uvijek ima snage u sebi. Počinju graditi duboku povezanost. Gospodin Peabody šarmira Lakea svojim romantičnim pričama o svojoj mladosti i priznaje mu svoj san – želi vidjeti okean po posljednji put.

Film me je podsjetio na jednog momka kojeg sam upoznao prije nekih pola godina. Izgledom plijeni pažnju ljudi, izuzetno je šramanran i zgodan. Iako za sebe kaže da je više str8 nego bi, uočljivo je da mu se jako dopadaju stari ljudi.
Kako se aktivno bavi sportom izgleda kao momak sa naslovnih strana časopisa i kao takav sam siguran da bi bio sjajan fotomodel.
Omiljen u mjestu u kojem živi, dečko koji je osvojio i slomio mnoga ženska srca, dobar učenik u školi, uzoran prijatelj i dobar momak su opisi koji ga krase kada se on pominje.
Jednom prilikom je preko nednog dateing sajta upoznao čovjeka koji ima 65 godina. Kako živi u drugom mjestu, momak o kojem pričam je pobjegao od kuće i otišao kod njega. Zatekao je starog čovjeka koji već 30 godina živi sa partnerom. 

Dvoje iživljenih staraca kada su vidjeli kako im se nudi lijep i izuzetno zgodan momak, odluče da ga udome kod njih. Raspaljeni u seksualnom smisli koristili su ga kao igračku, a svoje bahanalije su dopunjavali nevjerovatnom količinom alkohola. Naravno i momak se napijao svakodnevno sve dok nije došao u stanje da ne razaznaje realnost i pri svemu tome se zaljubio u jednog od njih. Stari u kojeg se momak bio zaljubio nije krio da mu ljubav takvog momka hrani taštinu i čini ga srećnim u njegovom trećem dobu. 

Vremenom  je momak sve više pravio probleme kada se napije te su ga jednog dana dvojica staraca izbacili iz kuće.
Momak se vratio u svoje mjesto , ali više nije bio isti. Napijao se do iznemoglosti te mu je sposobnost rasuđivanja toliko poremećena da je potrebna liječnička pomoć. Njegovu opsesivnu ljubav prema starcu nije više bio u stanju da krije ni u porodici niti među prijateljima.
Roditelji nisu na vrijeme uvidjeli u kakvom im je stanju sin jer se ovaj bavio i dalje sportom i svojim izgledom ničim nije odavao da je bolestan.
Kako će se završiti njegova sudbina ne znam, ali slutim da neće na dobro sve to izaći.

18-year-old Lake has a sweet activist girlfriend, but one day discovers he has an unusual attraction for the elderly. Fate conspires to land him a summer job at a nursing home where he develops a tender relationship with Mr. Peabody. Discovering that the patients are being overmedicated to make them easier to manage, Lake decides to wean Mr. Peabody off this medication and help him escape, resulting in a humorous and heartfelt road trip that strengthens their bond.The always provocative Bruce LaBruce is back with a new romantic comedy (of sorts).

It’s extremely moving when a great director shifts gears, makes a U-turn and astonishes you, overturning all your expectations. Bruce LaBruce shocked the world with his tales of an outbreak of gay zombies, and now he is sure to take a poke at the hypocrisy of the moral majority with this hard-hitting yet sentimental, naughty yet poignant love story and (emotional and sexual) coming-of-age tale. The old geezer and the young lad, played by the charismatic Walter Borden and the very green yet sexy Pier-Gabriel Lajoie, are simply irresistible, and can’t resist each other, in fact, but this is no gay version of Harold and Maude. It’s the emotional, philosophical and aesthetic cross-section of those who love bodies that are different, elegant and decadent, and love them with the normal seductiveness of a teenager and not (just) the lyricism of a lovestruck rebel. One may be 82 and the other 18, but these are no tragic Romeos, just men, thirsting for love, hungry for life, and two sides of the same coin, naturally. Like their kisses in the car, which move you to the core.
— Boris Sollazzo for Venice Days —

Lake is an unusual boy: he is a young man with an old soul who discovers he has an odd fixation on the elderly. Realizing that some day, if fate allows, he will be one himself, he is particularly fascinated by old men. He imagines their age to be a beautiful thing and recognizes how these men were once young and vibrant and attractive, as he is now. Although Lake has a girlfriend his own age, named Desiree, he wonders sometimes if his fixation on old men is unnatural and unhealthy - perhaps even sexual. When his mother, who is a nurse, takes on a management job at an old folks home, Lake jumps at her offer of a summer job as an orderly there. Gradually, Lake comes to discover that the old people in the institution are being given psychotropic drugs to keep them in a catatonic state. Lake befriends one old man in particular, Mr. Peabody, who still seems to have some fight left in him.

They begin to form a strong bond. Mr. Peabody charms Lake with romantic stories of his youth and confesses his dream of seeing the ocean one last time. Avoiding the vigilant eye of Nurse Stone, who administers shots and pills to the old folks, Lake starts to wean Mr. Peabody off his medication. Eventually, Lake springs Mr. Peabody from the institution. Together they embark on a road trip telling everyone they meet that the old man is his grandfather and that they're driving to the Pacific ocean. After numerous life-changing escapades, Lake is finally ready to accept his true feelings for Mr. Peabody, but everything changes when the trip takes a sudden turn.

Trenutak kada moramo donijeti životne odluke koje se tiču odvajanja od kuće, prijatelja, promjena grada ili države u kojoj ćemo živjeti je uvjek težak.
Tako je i u ovoj priči Donato, momak koji je radio kao spasilac na jednoj brazilskoj plaži odlučio da odseli u Njemačku kod Conrada, momka kojeg je upoznao radeći kao spasilac na plaži.
Iza sebe je ostavio majku i malog brata kojima se od momenta dolaska u Njemačku nije ni javio. 

Kako su godine prolazile Donato je savladao nostalgiju prema rodnom domu i prilagodio se sasvim drugačijem načinu života, sve dok mu se jednog dana sada već odrasli brat nije pojavio na vrata.

Mnoge gejeve strah od odbacivanja natjera da bez riječi napuste kuću. U momentu im se čini da je lakše otići ne objašnjavajuči prave razloge zbog kojih su se odlučili na taj korak. Uglavnom nađu izgovore zbog posla, škole i li nešto drugo I jednostavno odu.
Međutim u većini slučajeva se uspostavi da dok ne završe taj razgovor sa roditeljima i familijom ne mogu nastaviti dalje svojim životom. Istina uvjek nađe svoj put do ljudi kojima je stalo do vas.

Short after facing the failure of an attempt to rescue a drowning man, Donato meets Konrad, friend of the victim. Motivated by the circumstances, Donato decides to begin a new life in Berlin, but pieces of his past are coming after him.

Beautiful, yet dull
20 May 2014 | by Not Jim (Brasil) – IMDB
The thing that struck me the most about this movie is how beautiful it is, and I mean literally, aesthetically. Not only is the scenery gorgeous, but also its camera work is outstanding: Praia do Futuro's shots are absolutely amazing, most scenes could be made into pictures to be hung on the walls of an art gallery - there could probably be a whole exposition just made with screenshots of this movie.

The film's appeal, however, doesn't go much beyond that. Its plot had potential, the trailer made it seem like it would be intense and deeply emotional, yet the whole story is quite dull, with some unclear or poorly explained parts and underdeveloped dialogue. The characters don't lack depth per se, but their personalities were rather shallowly explored, perhaps hindered by the lack of vocal expression or by the stumbling plot.

Contrarily to what a review I read (in another website) suggested, I did not feel like this movie was too cliché-ridden, and the unoriginal moves were fairly understandable, as they could be justified by either the situation in which they were inserted or the characters' psyche. Yet, I feel the innovative elements were obscured by the overall dephtlessness of the whole production and great ideas and quotes were lost in senselessness and barely-existent dialogue.

This is definitely not a bad movie, it was just not enough to touch or affect me in any way.

Raskid veze svako od nas preživljava na svoj način. Neko padne u depresiju i povuče se u sebe, neko se intezivno druži sa prijateljima i glumi da je sve baš onako kako treba, neko traži društvo isključivo da bi imao rame za plakanje, a neko kao Matthew u ovom filmu besciljno luta ulicama i posmatra ljude oko sebe upoređujući ih sa svojim bivšim.
Tako je jedne noći posmatrao strastven par ispred nekog gay cluba i potajno ih fotografisao dok su imali strastven sex.
Sledeće noći ode u taj klub i uđe u onaj prizeman mračni dio u kojem po  kabinama sa porno filmovima razni likovi drkaju kite i čekaju da naiđe neko kome bi popušili kurac ili se pojebali sa njim. Obilazeći polumračne hodnike i zavirujući u prostorije u kojima se voajeri naslađuju osmatrajući napaljene likove kako se jebu, Matthew ugleda momka koji mi se jako dopao.

Ne mislim da je odlazak u seksi klubove i učestvovanje u raznim orgijama idealan način da nađete zamjenu za svog bivšeg dečka.

Matthew is haunted by recurring memories of a lost love. Like an old black and white film on an endless loop, scenes from the past make sleep impossible. 

He spends his days riding the subway, walking the streets, unable to relate to anyone. ?Walking home one late night, Matthew observes two men hurriedly leaving an adult porn arcade. He quietly follows them to a secluded alley where they begin to have passionate sex. Matthew watches from the shadows and photographs them, unable to take his eyes off their primal connection.
The following night, he returns and enters the arcade. Pushing through the curtain, he is ushered into a fluorescent maze of hallways leading to private booths. Cracked doors and skillfully placed peepholes offer a voyeuristic view of intense and intimate exchanges.
Matthew thinks he is only there to watch. But his view of reality is shaken when he unexpectedly meets an intense and handsome stranger, Nick and finds himself in an intimate exchange of his own.

Origin of story:
In 2010 I collaborated with Director Michael J. Saul on the short film comedy, Go Go Reject.
To our delight Go Go Reject has been a wonderful success, having played at over 50 international film festivals and winning multiple, "Best Short Film" awards.
Following the success of Go Go Reject I wanted to explore a vastly different genre.
I wanted to make a love story that was set in the most unlikely of places. A place where most people would never consider finding love- an adult porn arcade.
But Adults Only is more than just a story about darky lit rooms and illicit  sexual encounters. It’s also a story about loss and heartache. The character I play in the film is dealing with memories of a past relationship. I wanted to explore the isolation and loneliness someone feels when the person they loved the most- the one who made them the happiest, is gone.  The utter feelings of disconnect a person has after a break-up.
In adult arcades there is an environment of non-verbal communication that is really fascinating to me. It’s a place where you can have intimate exchanges without any conversation. For a brief amount of time there is a connection, however primal, and it can be as meaningful as any other relationship.

Film za koji se nebi moglo reći da je za svakog geja, a još manje za str8 ljude, posebno ne za one homofobične.
U suštini ovo je komedija koja na jedan prilično satiričan način opisuje savremeni gej način razmišljanja.
Zamislite da ste odrasli sa gej roditeljima koji vam umjesto klasične cucle davaju minijaturni dildo, da  eto ne bi ste plakali. Naravno uz sve to ide kompletan gej sleng i opis šta je dobro, a šta ne u normalnom gej životu.

Bob ( travestit) i Rod imaju sinove Aleksa i Tomija koje treba lijepo vaspitati i od njih napraviti normalne i poštene gejeve, što priznaćete nije lako u današnjem pokvarenom str8 svijetu.
Iako je film zamišljen kao jedna dark komedija, ostaje da se zapitamo ima li istine u tvrdnji da se gej svjet pretvara baš u ono što smo odgledali u ovom filmu?

Wouldn't it be great if your parents taught you how to hold your own in a fag-eat-fag world? Rod Gay and Bob Gay-Paris are the streetwise gay mentors you never had. Come revel in the raunchy wisdom they pass along to their two gay sons -- Alex and Tommy -- advice that will empower the boys to bend the world over, lube it up, and snap one off!

Movie, which isn`t for every gay man, less for str8 people, especially for those homophobic. In essence this is a comedy, that in a rather satirical way describes the modern gay way of thinking.
Imagine that you grew up with gay parents who are giving you a miniature dildo instead of classical pacifiers, for not to cry. Of course, with all this going full gay slang and a description of what is good and what is not in a normal gay life.
 
Bob (transvestite) and Rod Gay have sons Alex and Tommy, whoo need to be nice educated and make them normal and decent gays, what you can admit it is not easy in today's corrupt str8 world. While the film is conceived as a dark comedy, it remains to ask is there any truth in the assertion, that gay world is transforming into precisely what we saw in this movie?

It's 1997 and handsome Alex Gay chats up a guy named Kevin in a gay bar in LA. Alex regales Kevin with tales of being raised as gay by his two sexually liberated male parents, one of whom is a transvestite named Bob. Alex and his gay younger brother Tommy's upbringing is revealed to us through a series of raunchy, twisted, and hilarious flashbacks. - Written by T.S. Slaughter
