A HOME AT THE END OF THE WORLD - Directed by Michael Mayer / 1 hr 33 min / 2004 / English 

CAST : Colin Farrell, Robin Wright Penn, Dallas Roberts

SYNOPSIS
Bobby and Jonathan are inseparable as teenagers in suburban Ohio. Bobby has suffered many losses for someone so young, and is starved for love and affection. Awkward teen Jonathan has a nice family, and a particularly wonderful mother (Sissy Spacek). The boys not only become as close as brothers, but they also experiment sexually. The two lose touch, but find each other again in their mid-20s in the early 1980s, when Bobby (Colin Farrell) moves to New York and joins Jonathan (Dallas Roberts) at the apartment he shares with Clare (Robin Wright Penn), an aging hippie. Bobby and Clare become lovers, however, Clare had planned to have a child with Jonathan, who is now openly gay and who is still interested in Bobby, and to whom Clare used to be attracted. The trio becomes its own unique entity, questioning the traditional definitions of family and love, and dealing with the complications of their love triangle. The film is based on the novel of the same name by Michael Cunningham, who also wrote the screenplay and who was the recipient of the Pulitzer prize.

TEA Break

PIKU IS FINE - directed by Tirthankar Guha Thakurta / 40 min / Bengali with EST

A touching story of a young man, who infatuated by his best friend at  college, decides to come out to him. But  he is in for a rude shock. He finds himself ridiculed, humiliated and even sexual molested by his "friends". 
But he finally manages to put the traumatic experience behind him and move on in life.  

The film is apparently inspired by a real life incident. Shot on MiniDV, the film may seem a bit amateurish but it is straight from the heart and surely touches a chord.

BOYFRIENDS  -  Directed by Neil Hunter & Tom Hunsinger / 82 min / 1996 / UK

Cast : James Dreyfus, Michael Unwin, David Coffey,  Mark Sands, Andrew Ableson, Darren Patrucci and Michael MacGrath

SYNOPSIS
Three gay male couples, each at varying stages of couplehood, converge on a beautiful English country house for a supposedly relaxing Easter Weekend. What ensues is a witty exploration of gay relationships in the 90's.

NOTE :

1. The films are excellent original copies on DVD & VHS.

2. The films are NOT pornographic. Only good, clean gay films.

3. GB as a support group, has created this comfort space/event for gays, many of whom may be "newbies" (those still coming to terms with their sexuality and who have mustered courage to come for such a meeting for the first time). So we request you to be sensitive to the comfort levels of others attending this event and behave and dress accordingly.
