LGBT short film recommendations?

***

Dearest flist,

The LGBTIQ staff network at my uni, which I'm part of, is looking to arrange a couple of events for the LGBT History Month in February. One of these is a film night. We're hoping to show ~three short films so I'm looking for some recommendations. Could be fictional or documentary, but of relatively short length (~30min max). Ideally, we'd like to be representative so something with L, something with G, something with T focus, and much kudos if anyone can recommend anything with B focus (seriously hard to find...). Any recommendations highly appreciated as I'm really not au fait with LGBT cinema and neither is anyone else in the network it seems.

Thank you!

I haven't watched any of it, but apparently the Logo channel has a series called The Click List which features LGBT short films. Wikipedia has a list of the films they featured on the show, so maybe it'll be a good jumping off point? Here's the list.

I wanted to recommend the documentary (A)sexual as well, but it's 75 minutes long. /shrug

Oh that's a great list, thanks very much. The documentary sounds good, shame about the length... I'll keep it in mind though to bring up because asexuality is definitely something forgotten and it would be nice to have a showing of a documentary of something like that at some point. Thank you!

"If these walls could talk 2" consists of three lesbian short stories of about 30 minutes each.

All the films I know are too long - and I can't think of any short ones but what about the Husbands series? There are short episodes of that. I think most of them are now on YouTube but Google it anyway.

Oh thanks, that looks good. I have passed the recommendation on.

Also: HI HI, HOW ARE YOU?? *squishes you*

Hee, Husbands series is the cutest! If nothing else, I'll have to recommend to the others in the group to watch :D
