Day 7: I LIKE MEN (Men's Shorts)

Very pleased with the huge turnout for this year's gay-themed shorts program. The flavor for this program is decidedly more international hoping to capture the diversity of themes and style of gay short films in the circuit. It's really difficult for me to choose a favorite as I selected each one for different reasons. Do you have one?

NOTE: The short films included in this program are:
A Day at the Beach
Steeling Magnolias
Nocturne (Noturno)
Frequent Traveller
Thirteen Or So Minutes
Boy Meets Boy
James
Steam
Mother Knows Best

STEAM Wins Iris Prize!

The short film STEAM by Eldar Rapaport just won the prestigious Iris Prize for Best Short Film that carries a 25,000-pound cash prize. Yes, pounds and not dollars. It is the richest cash prize for GLBT short films. ImageOut is proud to be only the 6th festival to screen the short film since its premiere at NewFest in the spring. Four more festivals will screen it by the end of October. STEAM is included in the I LIKE MEN shorts program that I curated.
