Vilom
Vilom, a lonely young man from India, is obsessed with becoming internet-famous and deeply confused about his sexuality. When he moves in with Amay, a dynamic, openly gay hairdresser, and Nivi, a beautiful struggling actress, he finds that they are both slowly falling in love with him. This sudden love triangle leads to even more confusion, forcing Vilom to examine his sexual and romantic needs on a deeper level. Meanwhile, societal pressures and prejudices are building just outside the walls of their home. The feature-length debut of Mumbai-based actor Sunder Pal, Vilom is an unflinching sociopolitical drama centered around gay/straight relationships. This films tells a provocative story of risk-taking, creativity, rebellion and survival.
Getting It
After being dumped by his cabaret-partner boyfriend, Jamie (writer-director-star Tom Heard), a talented singer, angrily shuts out the world, only singing for himself and always putting his own needs first. Next door, Ben (Donato De Luca), a poet whose mother has passed away, can’t seem to shake his depression. When a friend asks Jamie to reach out to Ben, these two hardened souls come together to hopefully begin healing. But, can anyone ever really change?
Miles
From writer-director Christopher Sampson, the terrific new fifteen-minute short film Miles is an Australian coming-of-age drama that explores the relationship between three lifelong friends (Nathan Draman, Jye Whatson and Madi Jennings) involved in a love triangle as they embark on a road trip that will change their lives. It’s a meditative, introspective character study that marks the arrival of a talented new filmmaker.
A Queer City
In the short documentary A Queer City, three young drag artists navigate the rising drag scene in Norwich, a place where their actions appear to be going unnoticed by the rest of the world. They open up about what their drag means to them and how by finding a welcoming group of people in Norwich with similar attitudes and camp sensibilities, they have been able to express their queerness and identity freely through performance and visual artistry. Despite sometimes finding it difficult to find their way as marginalized individuals, they have hopes for a future they plan on carving themselves as a close-knit new wave of creatives.
From writer-director Christopher Sampson, the new fifteen-minute short film Miles is an Australian coming-of-age drama that explores the relationship between three lifelong friends involved in a love triangle as they embark on a road trip that will change their lives forever.
After the death of his father, sexually ambivalent Michael (Jye Whatson) brings his two closest friends, Edward (Nathan Draman) and Ashley (Madi Jennings), along for a road trip of self-discovery. A complicated love triangle exists between the three, threatening to change everything when they all realize what they truly desire.
When Ashley and Ed use the trip as an opportunity to each push their own agendas of love and romance, Michael is placed at the center of their conflict. Discussions of love, memories, and lost chances scatter throughout, unveiling the true nature of the characters. As actions are misread and advanced upon, Michael is forced to confront the situation and accept what he desires. Professions of love and confusion follow, culminating in a final moment that leaves Michael, Ashley and Ed to reflect upon their choices.
A meditative and introspective character study, Miles opens with no context of the affairs that have occurred beforehand, and we leave uncertain of where our characters will ultimately end up.
