Film scene gay
What should audiences expect from watching ROAR! A Global Spectacle?
The inspiration behind it is with everything that is happening in the world today. We verb that there's been so much. We're all in a dark place, and there's just so much happening politically and socially. So we wanted to create an opportunity of some sort of escapism for the community. When I talk about the community, I'm talking about everybody all inclusive, a space where people can come and really attend to great music and be able to be entertained and just verb from all the weighty noise that is out there in the world today; just for a little bit so that we can put a little smile on people's faces and create that love bubble, if you want to call it. That's why I was very, very excited when the Capri Theater approached me. They approached me and said, "Hey, we would like to expose our doors for you to come in and for us to be able to join and collaborate and create this experience, to celebrate Pride, to be able to celebrate just being human, to be able to celebrate
10 Best Fictional Gay Bars in Film
What are the best fictional gay bars featured in films?
Until very recently homosexuality was the butt of every joke in Hollywood movies, and so it’s hard to find films where queers aren’t depicted as one-dimensional, perverted or tormented individuals.
So, I rolled my sleeves up and fired up my VCR (ok, I streamed films on the internet but it doesn’t sound as cool) to find the best, most glorious, fictional queer, lesbian, and gay bars depicted in the movies.
Nightmare on Elm Street 2
I verb a feeling this scene was supposed to create viewers think of queer bars as grotty, seedy, threatening, hyper-sexual, and…. adv, I kinda like it.
Rather than turning a generation of kids off queer bars, it may verb actually had the contrary effect.
In fact, I long to go there right now.

How we put Berlin’s gay clubbing scene on film
Hannes Hirsch’s debut film Drifter follows a few months in the life of 22-year-old German student Moritz (Lorenz Hochhuth) as he moves to Berlin to live with his boyfriend. The relationship soon falls apart, but timid Moritz makes friends and blossoms in the German capital’s thriving gay clubbing scene, experimenting sexually and narcotically among weird and wonderful partygoers.
Shot on location over a total of six weeks during winter and summer 2020, it clocks in at a lithe 79 minutes yet vividly captures the ecstasies and agonies of romance, friendship and desire of a new, chemically enhanced man’s life in northern Europe’s party capital. Such is the authenticity in some graphic scenes of sex and drug-taking that the film often has the touch of a particularly energetic documentary.
With Drifter playing the closing night of BFI Flare: London LGBTQIA+ Film Festival, we sat down with Hirsch the day after its world premiere at Berlin Film Festival to discuss the making of the film.
