Boy Crush (V)

Seven short films in which gay youths and young men negotiate society, sometimes successfully, sometimes not. In several, teen boys come out, perhaps first to a close friend – how will the friends react? For some youths, coming out risks violence. In two films, love is thwarted – by mother, in one, and by immigration, in another. The collection includes “Summer” (Great Britain), “Night Swimming” (USA), “Running Without Sound” (USA), “Out Now” (Germany), “dipe N+1” (France), “Hitchcocked” (USA), and “The Bridge” (Australia).
