CONTENT WARNING:

This film is presented in with English subtitles.

This video by Washington-based videographer Bill Cory is a glimpse into the private life of one of America’s best-known gay authors. Subtitled Melodocumentary-The Day Shit Happened, it is set in Paris and adopts a very candid and whimsical tone as White is seen taking a gym class, lunching with a Countess, meeting a phone-sex caller, attending an awards ceremony, hosting a dinner party and finally winding up in bed with a handsome hunk he meets cruising under a Paris bridge.

Stewart Main & Peter Wells

This preposterously affected bodice-ripper is set in a raunchy harbor town teeming with sexually aroused and confused transportees. One such is brooding Lawrence Hayes (Kevin Smith), pouting sweatily like a refugee from a Levi’s ad. Opulent dressmaker Dorothea Brook (Jennifer Ward-Lealand) enlists his help to save her opium-addicted sister from the sensual, callous fop Fraser. Nostrils flare, lower lips quiver, impossible skirts trail over checkered floors, uncorseted bosoms bounce, sex of all preferences is simulated—climaxing with the lesbian lovers happily walking into the sunset. “Dares to be bad and succeeds quite splendidly.” - Time Out UK

n a town called Hope on the edge of Britain’s empire, desperations clash: the beautiful Dorothea Brook is desperate to free her pregnant sister Rose from the clutches of Fraser, a fortune hunter. A local politician, William Poyner, is desperate for cash and thinks marriage to Dorothea will save him. Dorothea hires Lawrence Hayes, a rough but handsome Argonaut, to bribe Fraser with jewels and to marry Rose; Hayes desperately loves Dorothea and may marry Rose to stay close to her. But Dorothea has a lover, the ravishing Anne Cooper, who encourages the match with Poyser to give the lovers cover. Are these remedies, each desperate in its turn, going to make anyone happy?

Fosco & Donatello Dubini

In the summer of 1881, King Ludwig II of Bavaria traveled to Lake Lucerne with Joseph Kainz, an actor in his court, to recreate scenes from Schiller’s William Tell in their authentic settings. Against stunning Alpine backdrops, this film records the historical rise of aestheticism as well as the way power plays itself out in even platonic, yet homoerotic, relationships. The directors have cast Helmet Berger, the star of Luchino Visconti’s 1975 Ludwig, as the same character here.

In 1881 Ludwig of Bavaria goes on a cruise on a Swiss lake. He takes with him a famous actor, Josef Kainz, to act out the scenes from a story which took place on the lake, at the actual locations.
