Wicked Queer 41
We’re all fumbling to connect and find ourselves. So what if there’s miscommunications, crime syndicates, murderers, and killer robots in the way? The queer men of these shorts risk everything to be seen, loved, and get the hell out of dodge.

This short film program includes the following films:
Tiger Lily Mountain Pass
Tiger Lily Mountain Pass is a hand drawn animation inspired by Nate King's time spent in the forests of Appalachia. In a region where queerness is often hidden or disguised, the work explores nature as a space of queer erotic encounter. King animates with a combination of pencil, paper and digital processes, weaving together a dreamlike poem that tells a story of ecstasy, meditation, and heartache.
Beicon
When Ander goes to take his dog Beicon for a walk, he runs into Carlos, his ex-partner, who has been waiting for him on the landing of the flat where they lived together before their traumatic breakup. Under the pretext of collecting his remaining belongings, Carlos takes the opportunity to address a pending issue: Beicon's custody.
Last Night
After falling for his client, a seemingly straightforward in-home massage takes an unsettling turn.
Melange
Two estranged men reconnect in a jazz bar where they embark on a forbidden dance.
Crazy Love
Serial killer love story.
Palindrome
A man fervently seeks the truth behind his partner’s disappearance after his mysterious return.
American Double Joy
Dong is a gay erotic masseur. After being exploited by the boss, he decides to rob the massage store but unexpectedly bumps into an undercover cop while executing his crazy plan.
