Circumcision and artistic freedom concern three homosexuals, denied communication during a surreal jail stay.
A response to World Catholic Youth Day and the Pope’s 2002 mass in Toronto, "save myself" is a personal meditation on faith and loss. Why does thought require words, and is anybody listening?
"Shinto" is an examination of the meaning of objects. Do objects have powers or energies of their own? If so, can we see or feel it? While this may sound heavy and philosophical, the film is actually a lively argument between two neurotic gay men who have been together for too long. As they discuss whether or not to rid themselves of some extra junk, we watch a memory film of one of the character's childhood toy trucks being burned, and a handful of Asian film clips, meant to parody the characters' ridiculous, half understood adoption of Asian philosophy and spirituality.
Tubbé describes the ongoing dissociation between two solitudes (English and French Canada) in the form of one queer-in-a-tub's reflections on his amorous escapades.
Contemplating suicide, a young gay man is heartbroken over his lost love.
Perfect...a summer day, a sandbox...a meditation on the transience of consciousness.
Drawing on pre-biblical mythology, "flesh of my flesh" is a queer retelling of the "first" murder. Abel returns from the wars of God our Father to a bombed out and pillaged Canaan. His brother/lover Cain leads him to a barren field where, in an effort to reinstate the garden of paradise, he performs the sacrificial ritual. The consequence (for Cain and all his tribe) is banishment, to the land "east of Normal."
Romance gone wrong sparks this visually poetic meditation on love, promises and destruction, with reference to Mrs. Danvers, that icon of perfectly executed revenge in Alfred Hitchcock's classic Rebecca.
Midnight cowpoke scrounges the streets of Mike Harris' mean megatropolis, looking for a good time or just a bite to eat. "Hard time living, too young to die. Lord, lord, lord: hard times town."
