First Love And Other Pains

Delighting gay festival-goers around the world, these two audience favorites explore the phenomenon of first love, the discovery, the trill, the fear and the heartache

In First Love and Other Pains, a Hong Kong college student is smitten with his English instructor, an older, frustrated British playwright. Their common love of great literature leads both men into an erotic affair-the tenuous beginnings of a romance spanning two different worlds.

From the co-directors of the camp hit Desperate Remedies comes One of Them. Set in the 1960s, two gay teens grappling with their mixed-up emotions and emerging sexuality strike up a friendship fortified by frank talk about fashion design and ogling cute boys, all to make the taunts and boredom of small-town life almost bearable.
