other title: 图集
We live in times where Internet and social media rule our lives. Gays have embraced online dating and beyond a casual hook up, for some our online profiles and exposed body feed our narcissistic and exhibitionist side, while for others is an endless voyeuristic hunt. PIX is a series of flickering images (faceless-selfies) of 2500 gay men building a three minutes animation portraying what is happening in the "marketplace of desire". Thousands of male bodies in typical male poses are put together creating the mosaic of one body. A mirror, an exposed torso and the promise for NSA fun have become the synonym to today's gay behavior with dating. But is that the rule or just a temporary -even necessary- phase into a gay man's life? Does this gay on-line behavior help for better communication or does it isolate homosexuals from the "normality" gay men try to achieve all these years? Is the need to connect emotionally been taken over by the need to push on the "load more guys" button? No three-minutes animation can answer these questions for you. Only you can, starting the next time you pose in front of the mirror.

Brazil Jungle Douban
★ 4.9 7 ratings
安东尼奥·达·席尔瓦 actor: 马塞尔·施卢特
other title: Brazil Jungle / 伊甸园
It is a multi-textural film with the visual appeal of an old school anthropological nature documentary, set in the male garden of Eden. A lost paradise of the Brazilian Amazon. The sex, the desire and the chasing are universal primitive animal instincts. This film portrays a territory free from taboos, where all types of tribes and a diverse typology of men communicate through the universal language of cruising. It is playfully animalistic but also very human, a cruising performance with explicit sex.

ECOSEXUAL is a poetic monologue set in the Portuguese Mediterranean coast in Algarve about loving and making love with nature.
