Must all good things come to end? Since 2009, U.K.-based LGBTQ+ film distributor Peccadillo Pictures has been dutifully assembling the sexiest and most thought-provoking gay short films from all over the world in its Boys On Film series. We think it an essential service as there is a wealth of queer shorts that mostly disappear after playing the LGBTQ+ Film Fest Circuit, and they deserve to find their widest audience.
So it’s kinda sad that Peccadillo has announced DANGEROUS TO KNOW is the penultimate DVD/release in this series claiming that “Our revenues from Boys On Film have been decreasing considerably over the years. It takes a lot of time, effort, and expense to pay for the relevant licenses, design, and marketing to put these compilations together. Rampant piracy has not helped.
This 33rd edition has a wonderfully diverse program that includes:
MY UNCLE’S FRIEND (Brazil) – Dir. Renato Turnes
BUDAPEST CLOSED CITY (Hungary) – Dir. Máté Konkol
EDEN (Belgium) – Dir. Sven Spur
CHAPERONE (USA) – Dir. Sam Max. starring Zachery Quinto
BREAK ME (Norway) – Dir. Israsj Asanti
BY HIS WILL (Israel) – Dir. Uriel Torten
RED ANTS BITE (Georgia) – Dir. Elene Naveriani
HORNBEAM (UK) – Dir. Mark Pluck
JIM (UK) – Dir. Tom Young
TOO ROUGH (UK) – Dir. Sean Lìonadh
