CONTENT WARNING:

When it’s cold – breathe. It’s November and 26-year-old Lukas is not so much living as floating. His dream of making it as a musician is on the wane and his great passion – rap – has also past its heyday. Lukas lives with his producer, 46-year-old Mischa, in an old loft where they cultivate cannabis. They have been having a turbulent affair for years – but this is a closely guarded secret. Lukas has grown cold inside and only really feels himself in moments of excess. Drunk and coked up to the eyeballs he toils his way through a gig in a small club.

This film is presented in German with English subtitles.

Donatella Maiorca’s sensuous melodrama Purple Sea explores the old-world European tradition of women passing as men. Based on a true story, this taut epic is as intricate as Italian lace.

Especially relevant considering the current debate surrounding “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” Out of Annapolis is a riveting look at the lives of some of the U.S. Naval Academy’s lesbian and gay alumni.

Out of Annapolis is a riveting look at the lives of some of the U.S. Naval Academy’s lesbian and gay alumni. The documentary tells the stories of eleven former sailors and Marines who attended Annapolis in the 70s, 80s and 90s. Through candid interviews, these former midshipmen discuss the reasons why they entered the Naval Academy (most wanted to serve their country and get an Ivy League-quality education) and the struggles they faced both while students and once they entered the fleet.
