AsAs the camera slowly pans over piled up moving boxes filled with scuffed up shoes, a Puerto Rican flag, trophies, and a drawing of the state of Texas, the premiere of Love, Victor, a 10-episode Hulu spin-off of the 2018 film Love Simon, establishes who Victor (Michael Cimino) thinks he is and who he has known himself to be.

The Georgian folk dancer is an image of masculine stereotype. His movements are martial, virile; they simulate war, hunting, and the courtship of his beloved. Often accoutered with a double-edged dagger, he personifies the small, proud nation’s history and traditions.

Producers of the ABC’s ‘Please Like Me’ have today accused the winner of the 89th Academy Award’s Best Picture, ‘Moonlight’, of plagiarising the life of Josh Thomas.

The host of the program asked him with the success of this documentary, what he planned on doing next, Bressan answered, “I want to make a feature-length gay narrative story about two men who are in love for commercial distribution. I would say a gay breakthrough film that straight people can go see and gay people can see.”

A filmed version of the 2018 Broadway revival is just as bad on screen as it was on stage—maybe worse.

We Can’t Afford a Hollywood Marriage!” was the headline in the October 1933 issue of Hollywood magazine and, beneath it, Cary Grant and Randolph Scott were pictured whistling as they did the dishes together at the kitchen sink and singing happily at the piano in their living room.

As far as I’m concerned, Paul Lynde is the patron saint of Halloween. His campy, mischievous, subtly sinister style is exactly the vibe I want all October long—and it doesn’t hurt that he gave us the greatest Halloween special ever.

“My goal was to make a film for the teenager I was,” says director François Ozon of his new picture Summer of 85, a love story based on Aidan Chambers’ 1982 novel Dance on My Grave

Claire Denis’s film “Beau Travail,” a luminous tale of desire and despair in the French Foreign Legion, had an uncanny effect on me when I first watched it some years after its release, in 1999.

Filmmaker Dan Hall accidentally found himself in contact with more than a hundred queer people in Afghanistan living under Taliban rule. He shares some of their stories in a powerful new film.

A lot of films feature LGBTQ themes and characters, but for every "Call Me By Your Name" and "Brokeback Mountain," there is a movie like "Boat Trip."

While there are some excellently-made LGBTQ movies, not all of them are the sort of uplifting films that queer people need when we're struggling with our sexuality or gayness.

"Empire" creator Lee Daniels told Insider that he was the original director of "Brokeback Mountain," but couldn't get the film made as "nobody wanted to see the movie."

Any movie from Mexican auteur Julián Hernández should be met with celebration and gratitude. But The Day Began Yesterday is exceptionally good.

"Brokeback Mountain" is revered as the quintessential queer movie, and is many people's go-to film when asked about their favourite LGBT movies.

There are two movies at war with each other inside Uncle Frank.

A heartfelt performance from the British actor elevates an otherwise trite and frustrating story about an alcoholic gay professor in the 1970s

With the release of a quartet of LGBT-centred films, from Ammonite to Supernova, queer filmmaking hits a purple patch. But there's still something missing

In this time of posting and tagging and filtering, the idea of filming live dance, filming life itself as dance, and choreographing and documenting various segments of the cultural underground, all seem like a vital part of artistic production. But back in the early ’70s, Charles Atlas pioneered an entirely new film practice by using the language and movement of contemporary dance and performance.

Directed by Terrance Daye, “-Ship: A Visual Poem” took home the Short Film Jury Award for U.S. Fiction at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival.

From Gus Van Sant to Maryam Keshavarz, Terence Davies to Andrew Haigh, film-makers and writers recall the charged scenes that moved and inspired them – and even helped nudge them out of the closet

Perhaps this won’t be new information to some readers, but apparently the World Trade Center has quite the cruising history.

Maybe we’re still basking in the true love story that was WandaVision, but Disney+’s new Marvel show The Falcon and the Winter Soldier has us thinking about heroes kissing. Again.

“Do you prefer shagging men or women?”, Hedi asks Iva as they both lie on her floor mattress, Hedi smoking, Iva on her front clutching the sheets beneath her. “It’s all the same,” responds Iva. Then, after a pause, “when love strikes.”
