This new installment picks up many years after the first film, following hard-working male escort X (Derek Magyar) as he finds himself up against a much younger generation – who have gained a competitive edge on the market.
He’s soon taken under the wing of Chayce (Jason Caceres), a barely-legal twink who is ruthlessly up to speed on how to sell himself to clients in the digital age.
As X struggles to keep his aging body fit and his unusual roster of kinky clients happy, he is also dealing with the realities of living with his ex-boyfriend Andrew (Darryl Stephens), who is aiming to move on from their former romantic entanglement.
Magyar and Stephens, the stars of the original film, are back for this brand-new story, surrounded by many new faces.
Older, wiser and more incisive than ever, Boy Culture: Generation X has a lot to say about love, sex, relationships and aging gracefully in a culture that often values youthful good looks above all else.
A Latino barber in a macho world faces a tough road ahead when he develops an attraction for a handsome stranger during a hot and sweaty New York City summer.
From director Dennis Shinners, Barrio Boy tells the story of Quique (Dennis Garcia), a Nuyorican barber living in a rapidly changing Brooklyn neighborhood who embarks on an erotically charged odyssey of self-discovery.
A chance encounter on a basketball court sparks an instant attraction with a handsome Irish stranger named Kevin (James Physick), who is passing through town to settle his late father’s affairs.
As their friendship blossoms, so do suspicions about the nature of their relationship, especially to the jealous eye of Cuz (Keet Davis), Quique’s childhood friend turned local bully.
Quique’s quest for love and self-acceptance is further realized as he navigates his way through the complex and often messy layers of sexuality, family, friends, race and class.

Aldo, an indigenous young man, is an essential worker who is allowed by the authorities to come and go as necessary. Although they live in the same apartment complex, they are unable to meet. Instead, they talk online or via video calls – which increases the simmering erotic tension. Finally, the temptation to meet becomes too much to bear, culminating in a reality that proves even more combustible.
Packed to the brim with sexual tension, this wildly erotic drama explores the lockdown state of mind, wherein even one individual’s pleasure becomes taboo.
Set in Zurich during the early seventies and boasting a killer soundtrack that includes the likes of punk legends The Stooges and The Velvet Underground, Fogi is a Bastard is director Marcel Gisler‘s honest depiction of teenage infatuation and obsession.
Beni (Vincent Branchet) is a 15-year old sensitive romantic completely besotted by the super sexy Fogi (Frédéric Andrau), the front man to local punk outfit The Minks. The wide-eyed seemingly innocent Beni – who begins his courting of Fogi with lovingly penned letters – is welcomed into the out gay punk musician’s world of partying and playing gigs. However, as Fogi slowly drifts from an ambitious music career to the addictive world of mind-altering substances, a wedge slowly forms in their relationship which leads to Beni becoming a submissive “dog” in their relationship and supporting his lover with sex work.
With its raw depiction of urban life, ghettoized youth, working class angst and gay male sex without any compromise, Fogi is a Bastard is a must see for fans of coming-of-age cinema and alternative queer sensibilities and aesthetics.
Originally released in 1998, Fogi is a Bastard has been unavailable for many years, but has recently been restored by the cult/indie distribution label Altered Innocence for this special edition release.

From actor and first-time feature director Rightor Doyle, Down Low is an outrageous, sex-positive gay comedy starring Zachary Quinto and “Euphoria” and “The White Lotus” star Lukas Gage (who co-wrote the screenplay) about two men, one wild night and it’s hysterical outcomes.
Gary (Quinto) is a repressed, recently divorced man who hires Cameron (Gage), a spirited and boundary-free sex worker, to give him an erotic massage. When Cameron learns how inexperienced middle-aged Gary is, he becomes determined to deliver a crash course in unapologetic queer life. Cameron’s agenda of hookup apps and gay nomenclature quickly causes the day to take several riotously obscure turns as the pair endure a nosy, pill-popping neighbor, a dark web intruder and more in a hilarious evening of consequences and confrontation.
Judith Light, Audra McDonald and Simon Rex co-star in this wildly funny new queer comedy.

A masterful work of psychosexual intensity, the newest film from celebrated filmmaker Ira Sachs (The Delta, Love is Strange, Keep the Lights On) offers one of the director’s most cutting variations on desire and intimacy.
Co-written by author and longtime collaborator Mauricio Zacharias, Passages follows Tomas (Franz Rogowski), a mercurial German filmmaker living in Paris whose commitment to his husband, Martin (Ben Whishaw), falls short when he pursues a dalliance with a young female school teacher named Agathe (Adele Exarchopoulos).
Martin begins his own affair soon after, while Tomas swings between both relationships and unleashes a reckless succession of breakups and makeups.
With fearless performances from Rogowski, Whishaw and Exarchopoulos, Sachs crafts a cinematic rarity in which the white-hot pleasures and compulsions of a particularly dysfunctional amour fou are kept on par with ferocious honesty.
