Project Detail

Dirty Bent Bastards

Synopsis

Two dysfunctional, underworld gay couples take stock of their failing relationships against the backdrop of a ruthless revenge plot on a homophobic thug. A f*cked up and outrageous black comedy that subverts the British gangster movie, but at its heart tells a story about people's fear of growing old, and without love.

VGL-Hung! VGL-Hung!

Director: Max Barber

Year: 2008

Terry is an average gay guy, searching for love, but hardly noticed in a looks and body orientated London gay scene. Coming home alone from a night of clubbing - again - Terry logs on to one of the many gay pick up sites available on the Internet. With nothing but sleazy men, timewasters and strange men on line, Terry almost gives up on meeting the man of his dreams until a magic website promises him otherwise. Suddenly given the powers to change his body to anything he describes himself as on-line, Terry starts to conjure up an array of gorgeous looks for himself. But as he embarks on a string of sexual encounters, Terry has to discover the hard way that beauty really is only skin deep.

An elderly man (Anthony Hopkins) in a wool hat and overcoat A Visit to Grandpa's

Director: DJ Caruso

Year:

A Visit to Grandpa’s is a whimsical, heart-stirring tale based on Dylan Thomas’s classic short story. When a lonely boy is sent to spend the summer with his wildly eccentric grandfather in the countryside, he expects boredom but finds magic instead. Grandpa is nothing like he imagined: impulsive, outrageous, and full of mysterious stories that blur fact and fantasy. As the days stretch on, mischief turns to meaning, and their unexpected bond becomes a lifeline for them both. With Hopkins set to deliver a career-defining performance, this is a funny and deeply moving journey through memory, imagination and the strange magic of family.
