Some of these films come from countries where sexuality and LGBT sexuality is still taboo – countries like China, India and Indonesia. All films in this program are open only to people 18 and over.”

Cast: Dvir Benedek, Guy Zo-Aretz, Liat Akta, Lucy Dubinchik, Miss Laila Carry, Ofer Regirer, Oshri Sahar, Rivka Neuman, Tomer Ilan, Yael Deckelbaum, Yiftach Mizrahi, Yuval Raz

Antarctica follows the physical, spiritual and emotional journeys of a group of gays and lesbians in the non-stop city of Tel Aviv. The movie opens with an unrelentingly graphic multi-screen visceral and visual assault as it depicts a week or month in the nocturnal life of Boaz (hunky Ofer Regirer), clean-cut businessman by day, one night stand sex-maniac by night, who prides himself on the line: “You know how many guys I bring back here?” One hook-up, in particular, jars him. Danny (Yiftach Mizrahi), a sweet, troubled teen, stops Boaz mid-petting and asks if they should talk first, or have coffee.

3 Years Later the mosaic-like plot kicks into high gear as we meet the wonderful cast of characters: Omer (Tomer Ilan), a shy librarian about to hit a milestone: his thirtieth birthday; Omer&supl;s harried lesbian sister Shirley (Lucy Dubinchik) and her on-again/off again girlfriend (Liat Ekta) who owns the local bar; Omer&supl;s slutty friend Miki (Yuval Raz), who cyber-connects with smoldering journalist Ronen (Guy Zo-Aretz) and best-selling author and past-alien-abductee Matilda Rose (Rivka Neuman).

All the characters are hoping for a change, waiting for the light – the light that will thaw their frozen hearts.

“Antarctica is one of the best examples of how to film sex scenes that appeal to a discerning audience . . . The scenes have burning passion without being excessive.” CineQueer

“To be blunt, Yair Hochner&supl;s Antarctica is one of the most striking and original films I have seen in a long time.” NewYorkCool.com
