Cousins
Lucas (Paolo Sousa) lives with his pious Aunt Lourdes (Juliana Zancanaro) in a quiet, remote country town in Brazil. The youngster spends his days gardening and playing keyboard – all while avoiding his aunt’s attempts to match-make with the local girls. Everything soon changes, however, when he’s joined by a trouble-making distant cousin named Mario (played by co-writer/director Thiago Cazado). Recently released from prison, Mario’s arrival upsets Lucas ordinarily quiet country life. When their aunt leaves for a religious retreat, and unexpected attraction grows and Lucas and Mario start to become friends… and much, much more. Cousins is writer-director team Mauro Carvalho and Thiago Cazado’s second feature film, following 2017’s About Us. With this film, the pair tackle a taboo subject with a surprisingly light touch.

Are We Lost Forever
Long-term lovers Adrian and Hampus (Björn Elgerd and Jonathan Andersson) have been living together for three years, and are engaged to be married. But their relationship has gone down an increasingly destructive path. During one fateful discussion, it all comes crashing down. For Hampus it is a relief to close the door on his destructive relationship with Adrian, but the latter is devastated and heartbroken. Will he be able to survive without the love of his life – or is there a possible way of somehow getting him back? Through desperate attempts to reunite, awkward encounters and rebound sex, they try to once again draw themselves closer together. A hit at film festivals around the globe, Are We Lost Forever is a thought-provoking relationship drama from award-winning Swedish director David Färdmar.

7 Minutes
A bold drama from writer-director Ricky Mastro, making his feature debut after a long series of acclaimed shorts, 7 Minutes tells the story of Jean (Antoine Herbez), a 55-year-old policeman who discovers his son, Maxime (Valentin Malguy), and another man hanged in a hotel room. The autopsy shows that Maxime died from an overdose of GHB, just seven minutes after his boyfriend. During an evening organized by Maxime’s friends, Jean discovers a nightclub that his son used to frequent. There, he meets the seductive young Fabien (Clément Naline). Desperately trying to learn more about the events that led to his son’s untimely death, Jean goes to the club several times more and is quickly welcomed by the other patrons. As Fabien becomes increasingly attached to him, Jean starts mixing his mourning with a desire to discover his son’s world.

Nowhere
Adrian and Sebastian (Miguel González and Juan Pablo Castiblanco) are a Colombian couple living together in New York City. Happily in love, they’re both on track for professional success in each of their fields. They also have a close group of friends and a loving community. In other words, their futures feel bright and certain. But when Sebastian suddenly loses his job, his immigration status is threatened and these two young dreamers fear losing everything they’ve worked so hard for. From filmmakers David and Francisco Salazar, adapted from their award-winning screenplay, Nowhere is a deeply moving romantic drama that examines immigration and asks a universal question: how far would you go for the person you love? The unique circumstances that these characters face push them both to the very edge of that question.

Perfect Cowboy
When hard-drinking singer/songwriter Jimmy Poole (played by writer-director Ken Roht) returns home after a stint in prison, he finds that his partner Ty (Jeffrey Watkins) and their son Mark (William Nicol) have been doing just fine without him. Mark has taken Jimmy’s place as the lead of their family band. As Jimmy struggles to retake center stage in his own life, he ends up alienating those he loves the most. Will their family’s collective love for making music be enough to keep them together? Featuring original songs composed by actor-writer-director Ken Roht, a mainstay of the Los Angeles theater scene, Perfect Cowboy is a unique gay family story of love and redemption – with a particularly twangy twist.

Here’s just five of our current favorites that you may have missed – ALL available to watch INSTANTLY! Stay home, stay safe and enjoy a movie!

 

Mexican Men
Who’s up for a sensual, seductive and truly unique trip through short, queer Mexican cinema with some of the hottest Latin men that have ever graced the screen? Mexican Men collects five of the most accomplished recent gay shorts from South of the Border – where some very exciting, expressive and groundbreaking LGBT cinema is being produced. With casual encounters, emerging love stories and deeply touching connections, this unusual, completely exclusive compilation is guaranteed to stir your heart… and your loins. This collection includes the films Tremulo, Atmosphere, To Live, Wandering Clouds and the provocatively titled Young Man at the Bar Masturbating with Rage and Nerve.

 

I Am Happiness on Earth
Speaking of Mexican men, Julián Hernández, one of Mexico’s premier LGBTQ filmmakers (Raging Sun, Raging Sky), helmed this tale of a film director struggling with the line between his sexually charged reality and equally arousing cinematic creations. Will lead character Emiliano (Hugo Catalan) be able to sustain his relationship, or will his lust for beauty and meaning lead him elsewhere? Furious couplings between gorgeous men include an exhilaratingly explicit play-within-a-play. Hernández’s boldly poetic romance compares with such films as Fellini’s , Godard’s Contempt and others exploring the connections between love, sex, creativity and filmmaking.

 

Lazy Eye
Dean (Lucas Near-Verbrugghe), a graphic designer living in Los Angeles, notices a sudden change in his vision. Around the same time, Alex (Aaron Costa Ganis), an ex-lover from 15 years prior, contacts him unexpectedly in hopes of rekindling their relationship. When the two meet at a vacation house in the desert near Joshua Tree, secrets are revealed and passions are rekindled that threaten to upend both of their lives. Forty-eight hours later, neither will ever be the same. Written and directed by Tim Kirkman, Lazy Eye is a thoughtful and thoroughly sexy romance about roads not taken, unfinished business and the struggle of adjust to progressive lenses.

 

Coffee House Chronicles: The Movie
Based on the beloved and successful web series, Coffee House Chronicles: The Movie takes a close look at different LGBTQ people who make contact with each other in a variety of ways – the Internet, via social media, and face to face – in coffee houses, and how their relationships grow and evolve over time. The movie unfolds in an anthology style, showcasing short, entertaining vignettes with a diverse set of characters. The cast faces that will be familiar to gay movie/series fans, like Drew Droege, Chris Salvatore, Darryl Stephens, Mark Cirillo and Nicholas Downs – and director Stewart Wade also makes sure to add a strong emphasis on the important social issues that face the LGBTQ community each day.

 

Are We Lost Forever
Are We Lost Forever follows two young men who may have come to the end of their long-term relationship. For Hampus (Jonathan Andersson), breaking up with Adrian (Bjorn Elgerd) is a good thing. He’s happy to veer away from the destructive path that their relationship had been taking. For Adrian, it’s quite the opposite. He’s devastated to lose his lover and will stop at nothing to win him back. The fallout of their break-up is divided into stages of desperate attempts to reunite, as well as rebounds that sometimes push them further apart and sometimes bring them closer together. This feature-length debut from award-winning short film director David Fardmar is a poignant, sexy and bittersweet romantic drama.
