5 Even MORE Queer Comedy Films
Posted on 1 July, 2024Of all the genres out there, the one that almost everyone loves is Comedy. In fact, I’ve already written about it – twice! First was 5 Queer Comedy Films in 2022, and then 5 MORE Queer Comedy Films in 2023. There’s just something quirky and fun about comedy films that are entertaining to watch. However, the thing I most like about the comedy genre is that it covers SO many varieties. Even IMDb’s genre definition…

5 Even MORE Queer Drama Films
Posted on 1 March, 2025When I shared my first selection of 5 Queer Drama Films back in 2022, I noted that it was quite difficult to choose how to pare it down to JUST 5. After all, there are TONS of amazing queer drama films. This task is made trickier because most drama films are not JUST a drama film. Rather, they often go hand-in-hand with other genres. While these combinations don’t have their own fancy nickname like romcoms…

5 MORE Queer Family Films
Posted on 1 October, 2025Trying to revisit the family genre for in trying to choose 5 MORE Queer Family Films for this month’s post was a bit of a challenge. I actually talked about it in my first post on Queer Family Films. When LGBTQ+ folks think of “Family”, there is often a LOT to unpack. Some might have good connections with their family, even if things might have been rocky at first before they came out – and…

5 MORE Queer Music Films
Posted on 1 February, 2025As I noted in a prior monthly post, 5 Queer Music Films, there’s a fine line between a queer musical and a queer music film. According to IMDb, a music film is one that: “contains significant music-related elements while not actually being a Musical; this may mean a concert, or a story about a band (either fictional or documentary). Subjective.” It really comes down to whether the music in a film is part of the story, often…

5 MORE Queer War Films
Posted on 1 July, 2025I first dove into queer war films four years ago with my post: 5 Queer War Films. So I felt it was time to dig up a few more to share with you! War films are a genre that doesn’t need any explanation: they are films that take place amid or during armed conflicts. When you add an LGBTQ element, then it becomes a queer war film. Interestingly and perhaps a bit oddly, many queer…

5 MORE Trans Films
Posted on 1 April, 2025It’s been nearly four years since I shared 5 Trans Films for Transgender Awareness Week. So I felt it’s high time that I revist this specific part of the LGBTQ spectrum. Especially because current events and politics have brought the topic into everyday conversation – although not always in the most positive light. So let’s try to change that! As I noted before, I do not consider myself an expert on transgender films. BUT I…

Are We Lost Forever
Posted on 3 November, 2020“Are We Lost Forever”, the feature debut film by writer/director David Färdmar, is still new on the scene in this very weird year of 2020 – but it’s already gaining attention. Starting off at the end of a relationship, we follow our leads, Adrian & Hampus, as they navigate the messy world of the post-breakup with all of it’s ups, downs, arguments, makeups, et al. (It actually started off as the Queer short film, “No…

At Last
Posted on 20 February, 2021Ah, Senior Prom. A night that many LGBTQ folks either loved because they could fully express themselves, or they dreaded. For Lauren, it’s actually both! Despite going with her best friend “Flash”, she actually changes into a tux and meets up with her crush – Sam. But the two girls sharing their first kiss is not the only dramatic twist of this queer short! Read on to find out more, as well as find out…

Circus of Books
Posted on 24 June, 2020There are so many incredible parts to be discovered within “Circus of Books”, a documentary that tells an almost unbelievable story of Barry and Karen Mason, as told through the lens of their daughter, Rachel Mason. Given that “Circus of Books” is a documentary and not the usual fictional story, I won’t recap a full synopsis. Because this IS Queer history, I feel that it’s better to watch the documentary for yourself. No amount of…

Clay Pride: Being Clay In America
Posted on 6 February, 2021While an older short, “Clay Pride: Being Clay In America” was added to my list of queer shorts to review because it’s not only quite poignant, but it stands out because it’s done with claymation. The entire queer short is a metaphor for being gay. It shows how is has not been easy to be clay throughout history and having to face the ostracisation and homophobia from the normal plasticine community. While the story is…

To recap the entire saga, head over to THIS post!] Ok – so I lied before. Perhaps it’s my fan for theatre, but “Eating Out: Drama Camp” is my favourite in the series.

Giant Little Ones
Posted on 15 April, 2020Wow – “Giant Little Ones” is a powerful film; full of vibrant visually laid out moments that are underscored by an energetic electronic soundtrack. But what makes this film even stronger is the script – and how it masterfully delves into the world of high school adolescent teenagers trying to figure out their sexuality in a modern, sex and party fuelled atmosphere. Writer & Director Keith Behrman weaves all of these elements to create a…

How (NOT) to Come Out of the Closet
Posted on 11 October, 2022Today is NATIONAL COMING OUT DAY! It is a day celebrated world-wide, though its roots harken back to the United States. While you can come out any day of the year, many choose to tie their coming out with National Coming Out Day as an act of solidarity. There are also many who are privately out to their family and friends, but not out to the rest of the world. Every year there are more…

Just Ask Him
Posted on 6 April, 2023Ah, the teenage crush of our fantasies! For many, it was one of the jocks. The ones that everyone dreamt about – yet few got to have. For me, it was one of the only other openly gay guys in school… I digress, BUT we’ve all been there. We’ve all had a crush on someone who we didn’t even know was gay – and sometimes didn’t care. And that’s perhaps the thing I enjoyed the…
