Hubert haughtily regards his mother with contempt, and only sees her
tacky sweaters and kitsch decorations. In addition to these irritating
surface details, there is also his parent's cherished mechanisms of
manipulation and guilt. Confused by this love/hate relationship that
obsesses him more and more each day, Hubert drifts through the mysteries
of adolescence - artistic discoveries, illicit experiences, the
opening-up to friendship, and ostracism. The turbulent relationship
between mother and son unfolds with a compelling combination of savage
fury and melting affection.



Hubert Minel n’aime pas sa mère. Du haut de ses 17 ans, il la jauge avec
mépris, ne voit que ses pulls ringards, sa décoration kitsch et les
miettes de pain qui se logent à la commissure de ses lèvres quand elle
mange bruyamment. Au-delà des irritantes surfaces, il y a aussi la
manipulation et la culpabilisation, mécanismes chers à sa génitrice.
Confus par cette relation amour/haine qui l’obsède un peu plus chaque
jour, Hubert vague dans les arcanes d’une adolescence à la fois
marginale et typique – découvertes artistiques, ouverture à l’amitié,
ostracisme, sexe – rongé par la hargne qu’il éprouve à l’égard d’une
femme qu’il aimait pourtant jadis.

"Brotherhood" is a potent, fiery drama which explores what happens when you add same-sex attraction to the already volatile world of neo-Nazis. Dismissed from the army after allegedly making a pass at a fellow soldier, young Lars soon falls in with a gang of gay-bashing neo-Nazis. Although the group are initially wary of this new figure, Lars quickly proves he is a fast learner and rises quickly through the ranks - simultaneously developing closer bonds with the other members, especially the sexy Jimmy. It is soon apparent that the two are far more than blood brothers and confronting these sexual longings threatens to jeapordise their very lives. Surprisingly tender and deftly handled, "Brotherhood" stands head and shoulders above any simple love story. Keywords:Gay Brother,Racism,Kiss,Violence,One Word Title,Denmark

David, George, and Greg, best friends since high school, are “The War Boys”. They used to perch on the US-Mexican border, waiting to spot illegal immigrants who were trying to run into the United States. Sometimes, without a thought for the immigrants, the boys chased them across the wasteland and back across the border – just for fun. It was just one of those games boys played to make themselves feel big. But high school’s over now. David is unexpectedly home from his freshman year of college and the War Boys have been reunited. Now the boys come up with a new plan – they steal a truck from David’s father trucking company, filled with what they believe to be black market televisions. Their plan to sell them, make a quick buck and move to New York is complicated, however, when the contents of the truck prove to be much more sinister than the boys had thought. Meanwhile new feelings and relationships are forming between them, their friends, and their families. The young vigilantes finally come to realize that they are as vulnerable and as helpless as the immigrants they once chased across the border. http://thewarboys.com/ Keywords:Little Girl,Pushed Into Water,Bedroom,Racial Slur,Gun,Adoption,Mask

Physical attractions appear to be the obvious explanation for two people to become a pair. But are they really the reflection of something sublime, everlasting or dare we say, spiritual? Do relationships start in the bedroom or in the heart? In this male love story, the bliss described by Joseph Campbell and sages throughout the millennia is a practical option for finding happiness. As the camera delves into the character’s minds and actions we find fulfillment on both a physical and spiritual level. Stagewright Films will bring you closer to the story through a magical combination of stage and film. http://www.justsaylovemovie.com Keywords:Love

Bobby Griffith (Ryan Kelly, Smallville) was his mother's favorite son, the perfect all-American boy growing up under deeply religious influences in Walnut Creek, California. Bobby was also gay. Struggling with a conflict no one knew of much less understood Bobby finally came out to his family. Despite the tentative support of his father, two sisters, and older brother, Bobby's mother, Mary (three time Academy Award nominee and Golden Globe winner Sigourney Weaver, Avatar, Working Girl), turned to the fundamentalist teachings of her church to rescue her son from what she felt was an irredeemable sin. As Mary came closer to the realization that Bobby could not be "healed," she rejected him, denying him a mother's unconditional love, and driving her favorite son to suicide. Anguished over Bobby's death, Mary finds little solace in her son's poignant diaries, revelations of a troubled boy fighting for the love of his mother and God. Finding it difficult to reconcile her feelings of guilt, her conflicted emotions over religious teachings, and her struggles with understanding her son's orientation, Mary finally, and unexpectedly, reaches out to the gay community as a source of inspiration and consolation. For Mary Griffith, it's the beginning of a long and emotional journey that extended beyond acceptance to her viable role a vocal advocate for gay and lesbian youth. In 1996, twelve years after Bobby's death, she was invited to address the Congress of the United States, establishing her as a major force in the fight for human rights.
