This year a lot of short and very funny gay comedies had made it into the TLVFest, and so for the first time in the TLVFest history, we’ve decided to do a comedy collection.
After a lot of deliberation 4 short films were chosen: 3 from the USA and one from the UK. Each one of the short films describes an extreme situation and has a different comic style.
A wild parody that ends in a disaster, a biting satire about gossip news, a British film that nods to the films of Woody Alan and Wes Anderson, and also the story of a couple that decides to open up their relationship.
Duration: 105 minutes.
USA, Japan, Spain, Canada, Columbia and Germany: six different films from six different countries celebrate people and stories on the poly spectrum.

This year the TLVFest had many short film entries, all dealing with different aspects of the gay experience. It was a difficult choice, the selection was especially impressive this year and the films excellent.

The short films arrived from different countries and deal with a variety of themes: sexual fantasy, teenage coming out, a complex relationship between father and son, gay immigrants trying to find themselves in a new country, football fans and even a period piece about the secret police.
Duration: 105 minutes.
It’s the Christmas holidays and Andy leaves town for a vacation with friends in a luxurious villa in the countryside. Spending time with a bunch of men is a new experience for him – there are moments of rest, friendship and teasing, but there are also games – macho games, boys games, where each one pushes his own personal boundaries.
Since his debut film “Plan B” (2009), Marco Berger became one of Latin America’s leading queer filmmakers.

Viewing is 18+ due to nudity, explicit sex scenes and violence.
