* Recommended fanvids.
Drama Queen (Flash). Music by Bimbo Boy. Directed by Johnny K. Wu. Contemporary drama. Includes brief dorsal nudity.
A good-looking man thinks he's the best thing since sliced bread, but a group of queens see through him. Bimbo Boy is an emerging Swedish pop singer; you can visit his site and listen to the rest of his music.
Sugar Baby Love (QuickTime). Alternative link, with credits (QuickTime). Music by the Rubettes. Directed by Wilfred Brimo. Contemporary animation. Includes mature content.
A humorous animated video about the trials and tribulations of a young man in search of love. The French sure know how to produce public service announcements. See also the straight version.
The Two Sides of Monsieur Valentine (QuickTime, MP4, and Flash). Alternative link (official site; requires SWF to enter site; click on Videos link). Music by Spoon. Directed by Ryan Junell. Contemporary drama.
Not necessarily gay, but close enough. The second half of the video, aside from being a delightful surprise, is also a documentary. Once you've watched the video, read about this blogger's surprise at discovering someone she knew in the video.
La Vie Boheme A and La Vie Boheme B (flash). Music and lyrics by Jonathan Larson. Directed by Chris Columbo. Contemporary drama. Includes mature content, though the film got a PG-13 rating. Go figure.
A tribute to bohemian life from the rock musical Rent, which is about a group of artist-types living in New York City's Greenwich Village. I hope that whoever choreographed this scene got an award. Pay close attention to the rapid-fire words and movements, including the straight guy in red dancing with gay guys in the second part.
The gay male couple in the film are Collins, a philosophy teacher who is also an anarchist, and Angel, a street drummer who is also a drag queen. I thought their song I'll Cover You was only mildly interesting till I saw the zestier version of it that occured in a tenth-anniversary reunion of the stage actors (who happen to be the same as the film actors, in this case). Their most tender moment in the play comes in Christmas Bells, nearly two minutes into the video, when Angel is buying Collins a coat. The intimacy that Collins manages to convey through the simple act of touching Angel's face is a mastery of understatement.
Recommended fanvids (off-site). The videos are a mixture of male homoerotic and male friendship.
