This Weekend’s VOD Favorites

The Gay Cinema Video On Demand experience at TLAgay.com has your entertainment needs covered! We’re always working to expand selection of new and old gay-themed movies available for your viewing pleasure. Here’s just five of our current favorites, from various years, that you may have missed – ALL available to watch INSTANTLY! These aren’t our TOP 5, by any means – just a handful of flicks we want to highlight.

Fireflies
Ramin (Arash Marandi), an Iranian refugee living in Mexico, is trying to come to terms with his past – one that has left permanent scars on his body and soul. As he strolls through the port of Veracruz – a place where transient souls collide in search of a better life – the haunting memories of his long-distance lover begin to fill his heart with a profound sense of loneliness and repentance. Ramin’s friendship with Leti (Flor Eduarda Gurrola), the young woman who runs the small hotel where he stays and teaches him Spanish, and an attraction to ex-con Guillermo help him find himself as a gay man in a new home. Written and directed by Iranian-born Mexico City resident Bani Khoshnoudi, the beautifully shot and strikingly naturalistic Fireflies won the top prize in the Ibero-American Competition at the Miami Film Festival.

Straight Men and the Men Who Love Them
Lovers of straight men need look no further for their entertainment needs. A collection of acclaimed short films from several different countries (Brazil, Spain, the United States and United Kingdom, specifically), Straight Men and the Men Who Love Them explores and exposes several electric and sensual dynamics between gay and straight male characters – and the sexual tension is palpable. Watch six short films for one low price. This collection includes the films Space Two , In the Name of the Father, My Straight Boyfriend, Truth or Consequence, Popcorn & Coke, Uninhibited and Coffee Date (which was later expanded into a feature-length filmalso available on-demand – by writer-director Stewart Wade).
