Short Films About Men Behaving Badly
Everybody loves to hate a bad boy, as this collection of the best international boys shorts from the past year proves with style and substance.
The powerfully sexy debut from Australian director Nathan Keene, DISARM takes one hot hook-up through many unexpected twists and turns. Michael Ogden's THE ONLY GAY ON THE ESTATE, goes back to the Manchester housing estate where the director was once as a closeted teen. He poignantly comes face to face with the best friend he knew was gay but never came out to. Spanish director, Juanma Carillo’s MURO packs a huge message as two young lovers meet against a city soundscape. From Norway, the 2010 Iris International Short Film Award winner, THE SAMARITAN is a stunning portrait of generosity, dependency, trust and abuse.
