From sublime and sexy to silly and back again, these gay shorts are all over the map literally and figuratively. From South Korea comes a rare homegrown work about love blossoming within the confines of a prison, while our South Asian brothers up north tell us what really turns them on. An Australian man expounds on the confluence of his modern Australian, traditional Chinese and queer identities. Of course Americans are well represented, tackling imperialism, fetishization and identity with their usual aplomb. TRT: 77 mins
