STILL
Director Lucky Kuswandi 2005 15 min Indonesia / USA No Dialogue

DISSOLUTION OF BODIES
Director Kevin Choi
2007 13 min USA
During one intense night of intellectual and physical passion, two strangers attempt to defy the fleeting nature of desire. Will their forbidden union create a lasting romance or just another one night stand?
A CRIMSON MARK
Director Hyun-Jin Park
2004 13 min South Korea Korean with English Subtitles
Set during the Chosun Dynasty during a political shift in power, a Chancellor falls in love with a clerk as the Academy debates the authority of the child King’s stepmother.
YELLOW FEVER
Director Raymond Yeung
1998 26min United Kingdom
A chance encounter with his new Chinese neighbor turns Monty’s search for his “white knight” upside down. Denying his unfamiliar feelings of attraction for an Asian man, he tries desperately, and awkwardly, to find the “perfect” man, but cannot escape a long overdue look at his own inferiority complex. With much humor and a dash of camp, Yellow Fever is an offbeat portrayal of gay Chinese subculture in a European-dominated society.
