Ardent Other

Ardent Other

  • Alice Brygo
  • France, 2022

Beautiful Men

Beautiful Men

  • Nicolas Keppens
  • Belgium / France / The Netherlands, 2023
  • 18 min.

Three balding brothers travel to Istanbul to get a hair transplant. Stuck with each other in a hotel far from home, their insecurities grow faster than their hair.

Fox Tossing

Fox Tossing

  • Zénó Mira
  • Hungary, 2023
  • 7 min.

A garden party is held in the park of the baroque castle: the landscape is idyllic, the company is cozy, the food is aristocratic, and everything is traditional and refined. At the same time, in the other part of the garden, cages rattle, ropes rustle, and foxes whine. From the initial idyll, the film slowly moves to another level of pleasure, and a cruel game of "fox throwing" begins, which becomes increasingly bloody and inhumane.

Melk

Melk

  • Niek de Leeuw
  • The Netherlands, 2023
  • 3 min.

Melk is about the expectations of being gay. Do you have to live up to expectations as soon as you come out of the closet? Does the life of a gay person mainly involve a lot of sex and many different bed partners? Being gay is often only associated with sex between two men. Of course there is more. Melk shows this conflict between the sex and wanting a cozy life.
