Gay Africa

Still a taboo in Africa and even punishable by a heavy prison sentence, which is why the struggles, the loves and the forced silence are depicted every year in many films about black, coloured and Latin gays and lesbians.
The evening includes THE DL CHRONICLES, an American TV series of short films about Afro-American men who have secret sexual relationships with other men; handsome, tough men who lead a double life. It is a controversial series which kicked up a lot of dust in the United States with scenes of naked men and racy sex scenes.

Check the calendar of September, 8th for all Gay and Lesbian films.
