S Is for Sexy (2008): φεστιβάλ ταινιών μικρού μήκους

Οι βραδιές μιας νύχτας, οι ημερομηνίες του Ίντερνετ και η αγάπη χωρίς όρια συγκαταλέγονται μεταξύ των θεμάτων αυτής της ανθολογίας ταινιών μικρού μήκους με γκέι. Στο "Signage", ένας μεσήλικας αγκαλιάζει έναν κωφό νεαρό άνδρα, ενώ το "41 δευτερόλεπτα" χαρακτηρίζεται μια σύντομη, αλλά ατμόσφαιρα συνάντηση. Ο "Shahram & Abbas" ακολουθεί δύο Ιρανούς που προσποιούνται ότι είναι ομοφυλόφιλοι για να τους χορηγηθεί άσυλο στην Ολλανδία, και το "Mr_Right_22" επικεντρώνεται σε έναν σερβιτόρο ο οποίος διανέμει συμβουλευτικές συμβουλές σε έναν πελάτη.
"Serene Hunter" is a 2007 short film from France (subtitled in English), featuring the dilemma of a rather free-spirited man who enjoys chasing (and usually catching) attractive men for sex, but circumstances keep him from having the one young man he really loves.

"Solace" (US) shows an older and younger man who meet on the internet, and seem to get along well, until one reveals a secret that keeps them from what they both are seeking.

A young man who was "Scarred" (UK) in a gaybashing attack has a problem bringing himself to date again. A mutual friend introduces him to someone with whom he seems to have much in common. Unfortunately, there is one connection neither one expected.

You are only as old as you feel, but the outward "Signage" of middle age can be hidden somewhat with makeup and hair coloring, which encourages two best friends to plan a night out at a bar that caters to young men half their age. One makes a strong connection with a young deaf guy, only to find out that there is more than one type of obstacle involved. 

First-date jitters in the age of internet dating is the subject of "Mr_Right_22" (Germany, 2007), but a kind waiter calms his fears and offers some encouragement to be open to life's opportunities. Cute. 

Two masculine friends take about "41 Seconds" (German w/subtitles, 2006) to compare notes on one of their dates, in which his girlfriend compared their respective skills as a kisser. Only 4 minutes, but cute.

Last but not least, "Shahram & Abbas" (Netherlands w/subtitles, 2006) are two Iranian refugees, a young student activist and an older journalist, who want to see political asylum in the Netherlands. Believing they have a better chance of being granted such if they claim to be a persecuted homosexual couple, they begin a charade that leads to complications they never imagined, especially when the younger Shahram falls for a woman also awaiting asylum. Powerful and positive depiction of a very sad and serious situation.
