Just in time for the International Day Against Homophobia on 17 May, Austrian film director Gregor Schmidinger put his short film Homophobia online. With this upload to YouTube and Vimeo the project came full circle, as it was a web-based crowd-funding campaign that enabled the project in the first place.

‘The project grew bigger and greater than I could ever have imagined’, the young director said in front of 600 people at the premiere at Vienna’s Gartenbaukino last Friday. The film, which stars young Austrian actors, strikes a blow against homophobia and at the same time adresses themes such as self-acceptance and moral courage. In the film we follow a young protagonist coming to terms with his feelings in the Austrian army.

Dešava li vam se da zapostavite najboljeg prijatelja zbog 'nove ljubavi'? Ili čak i porodicu, ljude koji su vam dragi?
Ponekad smo nekome od njih potrebni i tada bi trebali da znamo da je vrijednije biti sa njima nego trčati za kurcem.

Ovaj prelijepi kratki film nam govori o tome. Muška prostitutka, čekajući klijenta u jednoj hotelskoj sobi naiđe na klijentovog malo sina koji uplašen od monstruma nije mogao da spava.

      

The Boy Next Door from Gregor Schmidinger on Vimeo.

Mark, a 25-year-old male prostitute who suffers from anxiety attacks accidentally runs into the 10-year-old son of one of his clients. When the boy tells him he is looking for his father Mark, taken by surprise, wants nothing to do with him. But while they wait for the client to return Mark realizes that maybe this unexpected guest was exactly what he needed. Over the course of the night this strange new friendship grows and gives both Mark and Justin the courage to overcome their fears and face their own personal demons.
