This short film program includes the following films:

Heart

CONTENT WARNING:
Damien is compelled to follow his heart for what he thinks may be one last chance at happiness. Watching out for him are Fiona and Doc who prove that family is not always who you're born to but who's got your back.

Dol (First Birthday)

CONTENT WARNING:
Nick is a gay Korean-American man living in Koreatown, Los Angeles with his partner Brian and their dog Chloe. When Nick attends his baby nephew's 'dol,' a traditional Korean first birthday party, he finds himself yearning for a life just out of reach.

Fallen Comrade

CONTENT WARNING:
The story of the bond between two Soldiers in the US Army and the impact after one is lost in combat. Julian, a Soldier in the Army, reminisces at the Military burial of Alexander, revealing times in combat, in training, and intimate moments shared with the Soldier; his battle buddy, his lover...

H2B Angels

CONTENT WARNING:
H2B Angels is a commanding documentary of families, partners, and friends who come together to determinedly fight HIV/AIDS as a community. Potent memories of love, loss, and still tender stories are evoked as filmmaker Vince Sandoval follows rider Joe and husband and crew member Jean-Charles Scappaticci at the 9th Harbor to the Bay HIV/AIDS benefit bike ride. As we hear from riders like the Scappaticcis, the ride founders, and shadow a dedicated crowd from Boston to Provincetown, we are reminded that, even today, no one is untouched by HIV/AIDS.

Last Man Out

CONTENT WARNING:
A lonely, sexually repressed, accountant takes a day trip to a Boston Harbor island hoping to escape the city and enjoy his favorite Walt Whitman poetry book. But 150 years ago the island's now decaying Civil War fort served as the final prison for a young Confederate soldier. And now before this summer night ends - for better or worse - long imprisoned spirits could be freed.

Mais ou Menos

CONTENT WARNING:
Teenager Ivo is constantly bullied by Sandro, his high school classmate. Their troubled relationship seems irreconcilable until an unexpected encounter changes everything.

The Men's Room

CONTENT WARNING:
The Men's Room is an emotionally charged short film dealing with explicit themes of male sexuality, intimacy, and the concept of public decency. When Thomas ventures into a park for a sexual encounter with a stranger, he uncovers a striking complexity composed of desire, fear, and betrayal when his would-be anonymous sex partner turns out to be a cop. The Men's Room explores the seemingly unwelcome yet enduring pastime of public sex, a world of secrecy and code lurking just below the surface of normalcy.

Men to Kiss

Thu, May 10 @ 8:30 pm
Brattle Theater
in person
Come and enjoy the New England Premiere of this great comedy. Colourful balloon dresses, long party nights in Berlin’s trendy clubs and erotic evenings on the dining table – this is the chaotic relationship of the unequal couple of Ernst and Tobias. Though opposites attract, respectable banker Ernst is often unsure, whether bubbly and always cheerful Tobias takes their relationship as seriously as he does. Soon they rise to a challenge of every relationship: everyday living together and mutual trust. The sudden appearance of Uta, Ernst’s eccentric school friend, fundamentally changes their relationship. Uta forges out a scheming plan, which Ernst completely falls for. Together with his friends, Tobias spares no efforts to checkmate the unwelcome guest as soon as possible – and sets events in motion that increasingly get out of control.   To date, the German gay movie was mostly limited to coming out stories of young men. “Men to kiss” charmingly proves that homosexuality can play another role in gay movie and replaces common clichés with authentic everyday stories. “Men to kiss”: an entertaining comedy about love, friendship and Berlin, full of vivid dialogues and emotional moments, that captivates the viewer with its taking characters from the first minutes on.
The gay couple Tobi and Ernie are being visited by Ernie’s old friend Uta. What at first looks like an innocent house-call, turns into an insidious attack on the couple’s relationship.

Co-Dependant Lesbian Space Alien Seeks Same

FREE

Sat, May 05 @ 8:00 pm
Brattle Theater
in person
Danger! The ozone layer of planet Zots is disappearing due to an overabundance of emotion! What can a lesbian space alien do to save her world? Well, board a flying saucer of course, and take a trip to New York City (it’s on planet Earth), where hearts will be broken and “big feelings” will be overcome. From the out-of-this-world people who brought you the wonderful shorts Dyke Dollar, Countertransference, and Hold Up comes the tale of codependent Barr, promiscuous Zylar, and sweet Zoinx, three shiny-headed space aliens on a mission of heartbreak. Can love survive the trials and tribulations of intergalactic romance? With the low-fi kitsch of 50s B movies, director Madeleine Olnek embraces what sci-fi fans have known for years—outer space is the perfect setting for the final frontier of relationship drama. Soup up your cardboard spaceship, put on your tinfoil hat, and find the nearest wormhole to claim your seats for the hilarious Sundance hit Codependent Lesbian Space Alien Seeks Same. (Description courtesy of Alexis Whitham, Frameline International LGBT Film Festival.)
The adventures of lesbian space aliens on the planet Earth, and the story of the romance between Jane, a shy greeting card store employee, and Zoinx, the woman Jane does not realize is from outer-space. Meanwhile, two government agents, or ‘Men In Black,’ are closely tracking Jane and the aliens while harboring their own secrets.
