Film Description
A collection of gay-themed short films including Protect Me From What I Want, a gripping British film that sees a man woo a young lad in an underpass, only to be threatened with a break-up the following morning. Passive and submissive roles are tackled and tugged in gay graffiti tale Vandals and Icelandic grapple-fest Wrestling, while Postmortem, My Name is Love, and Iris Prize winner Steam look at promising encounters that turn awry.
Rounding out the collection are Heiko, an alternative ode to foot fetishes, Breath, in which 12 year old Erik swims out to sea to make a daring move on his best friend's father, and Trevor, which won multiple prestigious awards, including an Oscar for Best Short Film.

Protect Me From What I Want (Dominic Leclerc, UK): Daz is looking for love. Saleem is looking for sex. Cruising at an underground archway, these two worlds collide. Back at Daz's bedsit, Saleem embarks on a dangerous, thrilling sexual adventure. Both characters disparate worlds overlap and collide to tell a tale of loneliness and longing in a city late at night. Elliot Tittensor and Naveed Choudhury star.
Heiko (David Bonneville, Portugal): A carefree young man really puts his foot in it with his obsessive lover.
Postmortem (Eldar Rapaport, USA): Romanticized as a fruit of desire and imagination, Postmortem plays out as a fleeting moment between two men who briefly reunite to reminisce and unload.
My Name Is Love (David Färdmar, Sweden): Love and Sebastian meet each other by a coincidence on a hot Swedish summer night. They happen to share the same secret, but their encounter is going to cause severe consequences for both of them.
Wrestling (Grimur Hakonarson, Iceland): Denni and Einar both practice the sport of Icelandic wrestling, which allows them to escape their daily routine, to express their true selves.

Vandals (Simon Steuri, Germany / Switzerland): The difficult balancing of two young graffiti artists trying to live their love without betraying what is closest to their heart: painting.
Trevor (Peggy Rajski, USA): Trevor is a film that deals with the very real issue of one's self worth in the eyes of the people that matter in your life. It takes a sensitive yet blunt approach to suicide. It deals with a young boy's thoughts about his sexuality at a very important stage of his life. There s a little bit of Trevor in all of us. With a soundtrack featuring a bevy of songs from Diana Ross, Trevor is an uplifting and fulfilling cinematic experience.
