Shorts Set: Animal Instincts: Bears and Pups
Kylvan, The Deaf Pup (14 min.) Puppy play is a BDSM type (dominant and submissive), a role play where men (pups) dress up and behave like dogs. This type of play is developed mainly in gay, bisexual, trans and queer (GBTQ) communities.
My Bear Path (10 min.) What is a bear? Through his art, photography and films, Albert Koomen explores what it personally means to him to be part of the big, wide and furry bear community.
Not Just Another Pageant (19 min.) Bangkok, Thailand hosted the inaugural Mr. Bear International competition to celebrate masculinity and brotherhood no matter what your body size is.
Pup Perfect (Director's Cut) (17 min.) Explore the world of gay/queer human Pups. This subculture that evolved from the gay leather community and now thrives in tandem. Interviews with over a dozen Pups reveal that Pup Play is a way of embodying the spirit of a dog, both physically and mentally. More than just a sexual fetish, Pup Play provides a way for individuals to escape the stresses of everyday life and embrace a mindful existence. Our “dogumentary” sheds light on this unique LGBT+ lifestyle, its stigmas and the freedoms attached to it.
Safe Word (15 min.) Cesar, an emotionally stunted masochist, must confront his self-loathing after his dom, Bear, reinterprets the rules of their game. They arrive at a paradigm-shifting result neither one of them expects. A semi-biographical fiction film, Safe Word asks: How comfortable are we at choosing our own pain? What is the impact of internalized narratives? What happens when those narratives are challenged?
TOTAL TIME: 75 min.
