Gene Burkard, a once-closeted Midwesterner and GI, found freedom in San Diego, where he transformed men’s fashion into something cosmopolitan, carefree and trend-setting. “International Male” reached gay and straight customers alike as it redefined images of masculinity in American culture, generating revenue and circulation in the millions.
Featuring input from Matt Bomer, Carson Kressley, Jake Shears and more, this character-driven documentary crafts a portrait of a band of outsiders who changed the way men would look – at themselves and at each other – and how the world would look at them. This is their story – a modern day fairy tale about a dream that really did come true.
Easy Tiger is a beautifully intimate portrait of an emotionally exposed man and the profound impact a surprising homoerotic attraction has on the course of his life.
An unexpected moment in a session with a client forces a psychologist to confront his own inner desires. Alienated by the isolation of his seemingly perfect city life, the powerful same-sex attraction compels him to look at the hidden parts of his true psyche, figuring it is the only way that he can find out who he really is.
Director Karel Tuytschaever explores how film can be used to focus on physicality – ensuring that same audiovisual work can provide, as much as possible, the same experience for both hearing and non/partially-hearing viewers. Queerty called the finished product “a radical feature.” Edge Media Network called it “a unique, surreal, enigmatic experience.”

From transgressive queer auteur Joao Pedro Rodriguez (O Fantasma, The Ornithologist), the new musical fantasia Will-O’-the-Wisp begins in the year 2069. On his deathbed, Portugal’s King Alfredo recalls the social activism and erotic exploits of his youth in the early years of the 21st century.
As a fresh-faced, curly-haired young prince (Mauro Costa), he shocked his wealthy family by becoming a volunteer fireman – both to do his part for the community and to be surrounded by a bevy of beefy firefighters. When he meets Alfonso (Andre Cabral), his instructor, new possibilities open as the pair become deeply immersed in love, desire and a will to change the status quo.
This sexually-frank new film – a mix of historical tableau, musical comedy, queer romance and post-colonial provocation – maintains a joyous energy while examining heavy themes.

Produced by Grindr – yes, THAT Grindr – as part of its ongoing efforts to spotlight queer talent and enhance content and community, the irreverent and fast-paced comedy Bridesman is now available in a new feature-length Director’s Cut.
Jimmy Fowlie stars as a ridiculously self-centered single gay man who returns to his hometown to be in his childhood best friend’s wedding party. The lone man-of-honor among the bridesmaids, he spends the majority of his time undermining the whole affair.
Hoping to save his bestie from what he considers an unbearably boring life of marriage and monogamy, he tries stealing away her husband-to-be before the couple can recite their vows. Shannon DeVido and Sydnee Washington co-star in this wickedly funny dark comedy which features sharp commentary on gay dating, heteronormative standards and even Grindr itself.

Horseplay, the new feature from prolific filmmaker Marco Berger, takes place during a scorching Argentine summer, following a group of testosterone-charged male friends who get together at a luxury villa to enjoy a little vacation. They’re soon drinking, partying hard, making videos together… and testing one another’s boundaries.
A rare mix of homophobia and horseplay come together to create a wildly homoerotic atmosphere. Under the surface, jealousy and violence begin to emerge. A twisted triangle of friends – a repressed gay man, a secret bisexual boy and a homophobe – will push tensions to the limit.
As with much of Berger’s work – he previously helmed films liked The Blonde One, Young Hunter, Taekwondo and Absent – Horseplay expertly amplifies the homoerotic undercurrents of frat-style male friendships, exploring his characters’ toned physiques as much as their inner thoughts. While the surface of the film offers a wealth of hunky eye-candy, it also doubles as an intelligent, challenging and sometimes shocking critique of sexual misconduct and toxic masculinity.

Strains develop for Manuel when his best mate starts dating a girl. Manuel also begins to date a female classmate, yet all the while suppressing his nascent sexual feelings for Felipe.

Named the Best Film of the Year by Cahiers du Cinema and acclaimed by numerous publications, Pacifiction is the mesmerizing – and surprisingly homoerotic – new feature from controversial filmmaker Albert Serra, starring accomplished French actor Benoit Magimel in an extraordinary performance.
On the French Polynesian island of Tahiti, the High Commissioner of the Republic and French government official De Roller (Magimel) is a calculating man with flawless manners. His somewhat broad perception of his role brings him into contact with powerful people in high end environments.
He also frequents less-traveled venues where he mingles with the locals. His day-to-day schmoozing is interrupted, however, by a persistent rumors and the sighting of a mysterious submarine off the coast, whose ghostly presence could herald the return of dangerous nuclear testing.
Watch the trailer for Pacifiction below and click here to pre-order your copy. The film will be available on DVD and Blu-ray starting July 25th.
