CAMPFIRE

CAMPFIRE
Films by Bavo Defurne

Enormously successful at gay film festivals throughout the world, Defurne's rich and beautiful short films examine gay love and loss and mark the emergence of one of Europe's most exciting young filmmakers.
The four films showcased are: Campfire: a lovesick boy scout is forced to choose between his girlfriend and his best friend as their camping trip turns into a tension-filled journey of self discovery. Saint: a 10 minute film of the violent death of the scantily-clad Saint Sebastian, which is both seductive and horrific. Particularly Now, In Spring: Capturing the moment when a 17-year-old boy is about to leave the safety of childhood behind him. Sailor: A simple story about a teenager who falls in love with a sailor.
