One day, he sneaks in Julie's room to steal her diary and finds a drawn heart, with the quote "I love Jonathan". He is overjoyed until he finds out the diary is not Julie’s but it is of Charles. A refreshing and sensible short film.

A Cuestas Con Mis Padres (Spain ) [Nowhere Without My Parents]
Ever since Pedro confessed to his parents his sexual status, unable to remove it from the head, even he imagined his parents in the most embarrassing situations, like his parents telling him what to do and how to do when all he wants is a good fuck.

Nörden Och Kärleken (Sweden) [Nerd In Love]
Daniel and MÃ¥ns are Warhammer-buddies. But maybe there is something more between them than home-painted plastic soldiers. Both of their hearts beat for each other. Who will make the first move?

Tony and Kevin (USA)
Tony and Kevin's wedding day preparations and video. Meh!

The Feast Of Stephen (USA)
Stephen watches a group of boys playing basketball. When he gets noticed by the boys, he becomes a victim of their homophobia. A parallel is drawn to a group of guys gang banging a guy and the film ends with Stephen smiling. Maybe thats what he really wanted?

A Christian Boy (USA)

Self Service (Israel)

Boys Grammar (Australia)
Bullying is taken to extremes at an exclusive private boys school. Gareth is raped by Nick and his friends in school. When they meet in the evening with the professor, they keep teasing on how beating helps them become a man and this was for his own good. A deeply disturbing film about homophobia and bullying.

Cabalerno (USA)
A young videographer is fascinated with filming a hunky skateboarder.

Mon Copain Rachid (France) [My Friend Rachid]
In this funny exploration of youth, race, and sex, a nine-year old boy works through his obsession with an older boy, his Arab friend Rachid. Specifically his obsession about the sizeable penis of his older friend. How Rachid exploits this to get from the boy, yet there is something inherently close and friendly about the two despite age difference. I think it was a very good short film.

Ballen (Netherlands)
22-year old Teun has to move back home after being diagnosed with cancer. His house-mates have organized a farewell dinner for him. To show him their support, they all go bald and remember old times. Not strictljgay, but more fraternity style.

Uitgesproken (Netherlands) [Caged]
David is torn apart when he finds out his best friend Niels is gay. Homosexuality isn't tolerated in their group of friends and they shut Niels out. Will David side with the group or choose for his friendship with Niels instead? A wonderfully shot and acted gay film.

This short comedy explores the nature of relationships, and the interplay between different genders and sexual orientations. How gay men make advances and how it is no different to when a straight guy makes advances to a girl.

Soon they also discover that they are both bigots who buy into stereotypes about each other’s racial identities?

Out Of The Closet (USA)
One man's dreams are suddenly broken when his lover decides to dump him for a girl and making a career in the city because he can't let go off his conservative roots.

Ronny & I (USA)
One of the bets short films I have seen. When a teenager tells his best friend he is gay and comes to terms with the fact that he is in fact love with his friend, the support and love that the gets fro his best friend is amazing and unbelievable. Ronny is open to showing his friend that he is also capable to love and show him the ropes. Its not clear if Ronnie is gay too but that doesn't matter. Shot in a format of hand held camera, this is brilliant scripting, acting and directing.

Gay Problems (USA)
A stereotyping account of some of the common complains that gay men seem to make all the time.

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,
