Chemsex

2015, United Kingdom

Through hidden basements, bedrooms and bars across London, Chemsex frankly and intimately exposes a dark side to modern gay life. Traversing an underworld of intravenous drug use and weekend-long sex parties, this stunning documentary tells the story of several men struggling to make it out of “the scene” alive – and one health worker who has made it his mission to save them. While society looks the other way, this powerful and unflinching film uncovers a group of men battling HIV and drug addiction while trying to find acceptance in a changing world.

Coldwater

2013, United States

Brad Lunders (P.J. Boudousque) is a teenager who is abducted from his home in the middle of the night – with his mother’s consent – and taken to a harsh wilderness reform facility. There is no contact with the outside world and the retired war colonel in charge (James C. Burns) prides himself on breaking an inmate’s spirit in order to correct delinquent behavior. As we learn of the tragic events that led to Brad’s arrival at the camp, unforeseen circumstances threaten to tear the already eroding reform facility apart, Brad to confront not only his fellow inmates and the personnel in charge, but finally his own sense of what is right and what is wrong. We’re cheating a little here because Coldwater is not at all a straight-forward gay-themed film, but there is a lot of homoerotic tension and imagery. There’s also a healthy amount of male nudity.
