Smashing Stereotypes in Synchronized Swimming

Pau Ribes wanted to be a synchronized swimmer since he watched his first show at the age of 7. Unfortunately, at the time, synchronized swimming was a sport only practiced professionally by women. Still, he didn’t give up on his passion, with the help of Panteres Grogues—a nonprofit dedicated to helping the LGBT community succeed in sports. In 2015, Ribes made his debut on the world stage, marking the first time men were allowed to compete on an international level. He hopes to continue swimming and smashing barriers, with the goal of one day being able to compete in the Olympics.

Focusing on a Narcotics Enforcement Agency that works to target specific drug dealers and manufacturers intending to impact and reduce street level drug activity, the series follows Jacob Phillips, an out gay agent. Dealing with the notion of what it means to take care of someone else, Jacob tries to find a balance in his feelings of allegiance to his job, a codependent friendship and a new man in his life. In a place where the “good guys” get to identify how someone defines themselves, Jacob tries to find out if it is even possible to be a hero.

Sean is a young labourer newly appointed to tend the grounds of Falgirth, a stately manor in 19th C Ireland. But a secret romance results in a possessive, power-play and a betrayal that can never be forgiven.
This is a provocative film that aims to delve into psychology of two men from very different worlds who must navigate the waters of an intense infatuation, all the while struggling to come to terms with what’s expected of them in their respective roles in society. What results is a possessive power-play that involves both of their families, and a betrayal that can never be forgiven.

A beautiful morning leads into a long night of the soul for one man in this independent drama from Italy. Salvatore (Antonio Merone) is a handsome man edging into middle age who spends his days savoring the beauty of the Italian seaside. One morning, Salvatore is taking in the sunrise over the dunes when he meets a beautiful woman, leading to a romantic interlude between them. It would seem to be an encouraging way to start the day, but Salvatore and his new lover soon happen upon a group of beachcombers who engage them in a conversation about love, philosophy and the future. What began as a beautiful day takes a subtle, unexpected turn and Salvatore begins contemplating the uncertain path of his life and wondering where he could go from here. The first feature film from writer and director Stefano Tummolini, Un Altro Pianeta (aka One Day In A Life) received its American premiere at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival.

A son must prove his manhood to his father by trying out for a high school basketball team.

Its rare that we find a film, television or web series featuring black gay characters that breaks from the typical stereotypes and story cliches (a group of best gay friends sharing laughs and tears as they look for sex & love). The rare times you’ve seen us share videos featuring black gays breaking the norm, the films were (almost always) from non-black filmmakers (Rivers Wash Over Me, Elliot Loves, Skin Deep, Children of God, W Delta Z, Strange Thing About the Johnsons, etc). The short film, Animal Drill, proves to be no exception to the rule.

Directed by Patrick Murphy, this deep, complicated, aggressively raw short film masterfully weaves manhood, masculinity, homosexuality and acceptance all in 22 short minutes. The film achieves this without having the narrative be entirely about ‘being gay’ or looking for a boyfriend. Taking place in the world of High School Basketball, Animal Drill tells the story of a black gay son, struggling with his sexuality, who tries out for the varsity team in an attempt to repair his relationship with his disapproving father. He faces adversity for being gay on the court, in his home and within himself.

The best thing about this film is the main character handles his situation not by crying but by standing up for himself, even when’s he’s pushed and punched repeatedly. This is the visual representation of what I was describing in my controversial article, Real Men Don’t Cry: A Defense of Hyper-Masculinity. Check out this superbly written, directed and acted short film and let us know what you think.

Background (Arrière Plan) is a student project and additionnaly one of my first short movie. It seems to be a polar but it deals (in the background) with self social acceptance. Protagonists are not free to be who they really are.
