The Nostalgia Collection offers up a six-disc compilation of underground gay cult classics

Fans of underground gay erotica won’t want to miss this amazing new collector’s set from cult filmmaker Toby Ross.

The Nostalgia Collection includes six sexually-explicit films which take a look back at bygone eras while celebrating male beauty. This new six-disc set includes the films Bill Eld: American Pop Culture IconCruisin’ 57Rock n Roll Dreams, Paper DreamsToby Ross and the ’70s and Once in a Blue Moon.

Originally released in 1975, Cruisin’ 57 is the only adult film to have played in the Pop Montreal Festival to a packed house with a full live band. Michael Muni tells of his crushes and flings as he finds his school a bedrock of erotic fantasies. We get the car hops, the cloths, the one-liners and those clean-cut, baby-faced, all-American boys.

Paper Dreams depicts the golden age of the gay adult magazine industry between 1966 and 1973. In that window of time, thousands of men posed for photographers to make some quick cash. They shined brightly and briefly before fading away, but some of their stories are told here.

In the documentary Toby Ross and the ’70s, the director himself tells the real story behind casting and producing his theatrical features from the 1970’s against the backdrop of a jubilant San Francisco. In Bill Eld: American Pop Culture Icon, he focuses on his muse for an emotional docudrama that tells the life story of one of the industry’s sexiest men.

Rock’n’roll Dreams is an erotic time travel story that follows a young guitar player auditioning for a very lascivious Phil Spector and a Berkley teacher preaching love not war. Finally, in Once in a Blue Moon, offers up a series of thoughtful, erotic and often deeply romantic vignettes.

The Nostalgia Collection will be available on DVD starting September 27th. Check out the cover below and click here to pre-order your copy.

Get two restored gay cinema classics in the new set Two Films by Arthur J. Bressan, Jr.

No other filmmaker better embodied the spirit of the gay liberation movement than Arthur J. Bressan, Jr. (the director behind films like Buddies and Gay USA).

A true pioneer of queer cinema, his films fearlessly blurred the boundaries between the artistic, the erotic and the cinematic – and never so clearly as with his first two narrative films, the critically-acclaimed Passing Strangers and Forbidden Letters. Altered Innocence and the Bressan Project are proud to present these two landmarks of early queer cinema, newly restored in 2K from their original film elements with a host of new bonus features.

In Passing Strangers, a closeted gay teenager (Robert Adams) finds love, community and a political awakening when he decides to answer a personal ad from an older, jaded man (Robert Carnagey). One of cinema’s first coming out stories, Passing Strangers is a romantic portrait of gay liberation-era San Francisco that still resonates today.

Lead actor Robert Adams returns in Forbidden Letters as Larry, a man trying to pass time on the day his older lover Richard (Richard Locke) is set to be released from prison. Unable to clear his head through casual sex, he reads through his letters to Richard – letters he could never send out of fear that his outing would lead to a harsher sentence. As Richard’s release draws nearer, the question remains: will the spark still be there when he gets out?

Special features include audio commentaries, interviews with Robert Adams and various queer film historians, five early short films by Bressan (on the Blu-ray only), print materials, photo galleries, theatrical trailers, a twenty-page booklet featuring writing by Bressan and an essay by queer trans film critic Caden Mark Gardner (Blu-ray only) and much, much more.

Another Gay Movie: 15-Year Anniversary Director’s Cut
Another Gay Movie has become a raunchy comedy classic – and this new 15-Year Anniversary Director’s Cut is more outrageous than ever! The film follows a group of insanely horny gay high school boys who are determined to lose their virginity by any means necessary. With bright colors, over-the-top humor and a cast stacked with hot guys and comedy ringers, director Todd Stephens (Edge of Seventeen) skewers the wildly popular teen movie craze of the late ’90s and early 2000s and gives this delicious parody a decidedly gay twist. The film is available now on-demand. Make sure to pick up the DVD as well. It’s packed with interviews, audio commentaries, original audition footage, a staged script reading and much, much more!

 

Bare
A provocative, sexy and visually-stunning new documentary, Bare follows acclaimed Belgian choreographer Thierry Smits through the process of creating Anima Ardens, his newest stage production featuring eleven completely naked male performers. In between breathtaking dance sequences, Bare reveals the artistic collaboration and conflict between choreographer and company as they build an avant-garde piece steeped in dark, primal energy and ritual. Together, they address questions of body politics, gender, censorship and a variety of taboo subjects. The film also traces the arduous process of auditioning, rehearsing and opening a new dance piece – which is apparently even harder when you’re totally nude!

 

The Blonde One
In the suburbs of Buenos Aires, Gabriel (Gaston Re) has just moved in with his colleague, Juan (Alfonso Barón). Shy and reserved, Gabriel is reluctant to follow Juan’s wandering hands and meaningful looks. With a revolving door of beauties streaming out of Juan’s bedroom, his machismo seems firmly in place. However, the attraction between the two men is undeniable. What starts out as a sexual relationship based on convenience of location soon develops into the engrossing evolution of a tender and intimate relationship. But, as reality begins to set in on their homemaking fantasy, something needs to give… or does it? Poignant and incredibly sexy, The Blonde One is one of the hottest gay movies of the past few years.

 

Breaking Fast
Set against the twinkling lights of West Hollywood, Breaking Fast is a delightful new culture-clash romantic comedy that follows Mo (Haaz Sleiman), a practicing Muslim still reeling from heartbreak. When an All-American guy named Kal (Michael Cassidy) offers to join him in his nightly Iftars – the traditional meal eaten by Muslims during Ramadan – meal after meal, the two start to discover they have more in common than meets the eye. The two soon start to fall in love over all the things that they have in common and – more importantly – the things they don’t. A major crowd-pleaser at various LGBTQ+ film festivals around the globe, Film Threat summed it up by calling Breaking Fast “as near a perfect film as one can ask for.”

 

Dancing on the Dark Side of the Moon
A futuristic lighthouse floats through dark space. Aboard is a “Spirit Guide” and his two “Younglings.” These three otherworldly beings are in the middle of an unusual journey. When Alexi asks about life on Earth, the Spirit Guide is compelled to show him what it’s like. Inspired by The Twilight Zone and the films of David Lynch, Dancing on the Dark Side of the Moon is a low-budget erotic fantasia from Babaloo Studios, the same company behind the films Necro-Mancing Dennis, Deadly Screams of a Naked Siren and Counselor Week at Camp Liberty. Like their other works, this film is packed to the brim with gorgeous naked twinks in a variety of explicit sexual situations. Viewer discretion is strongly advised!

 

Dry Wind
A gloriously erotic new film from Brazilian director Daniel Nolasco, Dry Wind follows factory worker Sandro (Leandro Faria Lelo) as he escapes his rural boredom via secret trysts with his co-worker Ricardo (Allan Jacinto Santana) – and through elaborate sexual fantasies that would make Tom of Finland himself blush. Though his sex life is in full swing, Sandro shies away from any emotional attachment, preferring to imagine worlds of anonymity, leather and unbridled fetish-play. When a new arrival to town (Rafael Teóphilo) – a certified hunk straight out of Sandro’s dreams – sets his sights on Ricardo, Sandro finds himself brimming with jealousy and fearing exclusion from the kind of romance he never thought he wanted.

 

Here Comes Your Man
What begins as a simple hookup blossoms into an unlikely romance between two young men in this charming and deeply sexy gay romantic comedy. When Jordan (Calvin Picou) and Aaron (Jason Alan Clark) meet in person after exchanging pics, their initial tryst is fraught with the kind awkward tension that suggests they might not be a perfect match. On top of that, Aaron is unaware that Jordan is, for all intents and purposes, “straight.” Confused about his sexuality, Jordan blocks Aaron’s number. When they run into each other weeks later, the truth comes out… and they find something undeniable about their strange romantic chemistry. But turning a one-night stand into “happily ever after” is not quite as easy as it seems.

 

Pornstar Pandemic
In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, so many people found their industries grind to a halt… and porn stars are no exception. What happens to adult film stars when their industry takes a necessary hiatus? Pornstar Pandemic seeks to discover just that by opening the doors to a rare, intimate examination of LGBTQ adult actors and their lives while sheltering at home. Follow top stars Dante Colle, Pierce Paris, DeAngelo Jackson, Alter Sin, Alex Lecomte and newcomers like Elijah Wilde and Jack Loft during their daily activities. Discover their personal thoughts on the current state of the industry, their own roles in it, how the shutdown has affected their lives and livelihoods and what’s next once everyone returns to work.

 

A Skeleton in the Closet
When Manuel (Facundo Gambande) returns to his hometown on the occasion of his parents’ wedding anniversary, he has a bit of an ulterior motive. He’s planning to ask for money so that he can move to Denmark with his boyfriend. The last time he saw his family, he came out of the closet – and things have been tense ever since. When his boyfriend suddenly dumps him, Manuel finds himself diving head-first into an existential crisis. Now more in need of his family’s love and support than ever, an unexpected opportunity to reconnect presents itself. Featuring a terrifically endearing lead performance, A Skeleton in the Closet is a tender and heartfelt Argentinian family comedy-drama that you don’t want to miss.

 

The Strong Ones
Based on an original short film, which won the Teddy Award at the Berlin International Film Festival, The Strong Ones follows the romantic saga of two beautiful Chilean men on different life paths. Lucas (Samuel Gonzalez), an architect, travels to visit his sister, who lives in a remote town in Southern Chile. Beside the ocean, shrouded in the wintery mist, he meets Antonio (Antonio Altamirano), a boatswain on a local fishing boat. When an intense romance blossoms between them, their strength, independence, and adulthood become immovable, just like the ebb and flow of the tide. Confidently directed by Omar Zúñiga Hidalgo, The Strong Ones took home both the Audience Award and Grand Jury Prize at Outfest last year.

 

Sublet
Michael (John Benjamin Hickey) is a travel columnist for The New York Times who reluctantly goes on a trip to Tel Aviv to write an article after suffering a tragedy. Leaving behind some unresolved relationship troubles with his husband, Michael just wants to do his research and go home. But when he sublets an apartment from Tomer (Niv Nissim), an attractive young film student, he suddenly finds himself drawn into the life of the city. The intense bond he forms with this casually seductive younger man ends up transforming both their lives in unexpected ways. Sexy, charming and ultimately life-affirming, Sublet is the newest indie gem from acclaimed director Eytan Fox (the filmmaker behind Yossi and Jagger).

 

The World to Come
In this powerful 19th century romance set in the American Northeast, Abigail (Katherine Waterston), a farmer’s wife, and her new neighbor Tallie (Vanessa Kirby) find themselves irrevocably drawn to each other. A grieving Abigail tends to her withdrawn husband Dyer (Casey Affleck) as free-spirit Tallie bristles at the jealous control of her husband Finney (Christopher Abbott), when together their intimacy begins to fill a void in each other’s lives they never knew existed. Directed by Mona FastvoldThe World to Come is a gorgeous and incredibly well-acted LGBTQ+ period piece that explores how isolation is overcome by the intensity of human connection.
