Product Description
Boys On Film goes down under to bring a fresh batch of funny and touching tales courtesy of our Aussie and Kiwi cousins, while from the USA and Hawaii to Singapore via Korea several more stories of men falling in love round out the collection.
Rising stars Xavier Samuel and Callan McAuliffe put their own twist on traditional coming out fables in Craig Boreham s second contribution to the Boys On Film library, Drowning and the Berlin Film Festival Crystal Bear winner, Franswa Sharl.
Drowning - Dir. Craig Boreham (Australia) 20mins
Things are changing for Mik. His world has been turned upside down by the sudden death of his big brother forcing him to redefine his place in his family and the world. The one solid thing in Mik s life is his best friend Dan. But Dan has a new girlfriend...
Franswa Sharl - Dir. Hannah Hilliard (Australia) 14mins
On a family holiday to Fiji, twelve year old Greg s creative pursuits fail to amuse his father. Setting out to win back his admiration, he enters himself into a competition with a difference....
Tanjong Rhu - Dir. Boo Junfeng (Singapore) 19mins
A former military officer makes a film about a man he encountered in Tanjong Rhu, a secluded cruising ground. From up-and-coming Singaporean director Boo Junfeng (of Cannes Critics Week and London Film Festival nominated Sandcastle), this film has gained notoriety in Singapore s discreet gay community.
Teddy - Dir. Christopher Banks (New Zealand) 15mins
An earnest Londoner attempts to rekindle an old relationship while on holiday in New Zealand, but a faded old teddy bear from the past ultimately decides his fate.
LOVE, 100°C - Dir. Kim Jho Kwang-soo (South Korea) 22mins
A hearing-impaired boy, Min-so is gay, and he likes his classmate, Ji-seok.
One day, Min-so impulsively has sex with a man who works in a public bath, an experience that lends him a new-found confidence, but at a heavy price.
My Last Ten Hours With You - Dir. Sophie Hyde (Australia) 15mins
At 6am Jeremy and Mark will go their separate ways. Their last ten hours together over one hot night will be punctuated with friends, fights and frustrations as they wait it out, each dealing with the loss of love in their own way.
Ron the Zookeeper - Dir. Darcy Prendergast (Australia) 7mins
With only one male grey panda left in the entire world, Ron the zookeeper is sent in to get a sperm sample, no matter what. Eponymous Aussie artist Darcy Prendergast s first wacky claymation creation (before Mary and Max), Ron The Zookeeper was banned from his graduation premiere!
Ajumma! Are You Krazy??? Dir. Brent Anbe (Hawaii, USA) 25mins
Fuelled by their schoolgirl hormones, three Ajummas , aka Korean soap fanatics - the lovable Judy, Susan the gruff-tough one, and Amy the sassy tart - go on a hilarious journey to try and meet Korean superstar Michael Park by stealing his itinerary, breaking into his hotel room, and sneaking on to his music video set. However, they didn't factor in the competition!

Just like the other volumes in this series, there is a good selection between titles and choices made. I cannot wait for the next edition.

Boys on Film 6 - Pacific Rim continues the high standard of presentation set by previous releases.
It comes in a slipcase, has photos and short bios of its 10 directors and photos and precis of each film.
There is also a Special Feature on the making of the Australian short, 'Drowning.'
There is a lot of fluff in this collection - Franshwa Sharl is probably made for a young teenage audience; Ron the Zookeeper falls wide of the mark and Ajummai Are You Crazy is somewhat infantile - but fun!?
There is one film here which alone will justify your purchase of this set - and that is Love 100 degrees C.
This is a galvanising and confronting film about two brothers coming to terms with their world. I enjoyed this film very much.
So what a pity that peccapics omitted giving us a bio for the Korean director, Kim-Jho Guang-soo (born 1965, also known as Peter Kim,) instead repeating the bio for Australian director Craig Boreham. Six strokes of the cane for negligence!
Here is a short bio for Kim-Jho Gwang-soo (thanks to Wikepedia):
Kim is one of South Korea's few openly gay film directors and collaborated with director Leesong Hee-il to produce the 2006 film 'No Regret', considered to be "the first real Korean gay feature." In 2008, he directed and screenwrote his first short film, 'Boy Meets Boy' as well as a sequel titled 'Just Friends?' in 2009.
As I said, this film totally eclipses all others offered here, and I hope you enjoy it.
