На фоне панорамы Вены и прекрасного Дуная предстает жизнь аутсайдеров приличного общества – молодых болгарских цыган. Их спортивные кожаные куртки выглядят как доспехи. Подражая Марлону Брандо, они позируют, играют, соблазняют клиентов. Эти парни переехали в Вену в поисках приключений, свободы и легких денег, но нищета толкнула их на торговлю своими телами. Застрявшие в этом темном мире, они проводят ночи, обслуживая клиентов, зачастую одиноких мужчин, живущих в социальном жилье. Они называют это «бизнесом», как бы разграничивая работу и удовольствие. Интересная внешность – их проклятие, и с приближением сумерек начинается их вторая жизнь – ведь надо кормить свои семьи на родине. Однако в чувстве единения они находят утешение. Вместе они чувствуют себя молодыми, азартными и свободными, может быть, первый раз в жизни.

This provocative documentary uncovers a lost chapter in Canadian military history: how the Armed Forces dealt with homosexual behaviour among soldiers, during and after World War II. More than 60 years later, a group of five veterans, barely adults when they enlisted, break the silence to talk about how homosexual behaviour "was even more unmentionable than cancer." Yet amidst the brutality of war, instances of sexual awakening among soldiers and officers were occuring. Initially, the Army overlooked it, but as the war advanced, they began to crack down: military tribunals, threats of imprisonment, discharge and public exposure. After the war, officers accused of homosexuality were discharged. Back home in Canada, reputations and careers were ruined. For the young men who had served their country with valour, this final chapter was often too much to bear. Based on the book Courting Homosexuals in the Military by Paul Jackson.

Nude men in rubber suits, close-ups of erections, objects shoved in the most intimate of places—these are photographs taken by Robert Mapplethorpe, known by many as the most controversial photographer of the twentieth century. Openly gay, Mapplethorpe took images of male sex, nudity, and fetish to extremes that resulted in his work still being labelled by some as pornography masquerading as art. But less talked about are the more serene, yet striking portraits of flowers, sculptures, and perfectly framed human forms that are equally pioneering and powerful.

When Howard Brookner lost his life to AIDS in 1989, the 35-year-old director had completed two feature documentaries and was in post-production on his narrative debut, Bloodhounds of Broadway. Twenty-five years later, his nephew, Aaron, sets out on a quest to find the lost negative of Burroughs: The Movie, his uncle's critically-acclaimed portrait of legendary author William S. Burroughs. When Aaron uncovers Howard's extensive archive in Burroughs’ bunker, it not only revives the film for a new generation, but also opens a vibrant window on New York City’s creative culture from the 1970s and ‘80s, and inspires a wide-ranging exploration of his beloved uncle's legacy.
