Lawrence Ferrara (US, 2014, 80 min) Strength, power, dominance and masculinity arebuzz words seen in the majority of gay male personal ads. POWER EROTIC explores how dominance and power influence gay male sexuality. Thought provoking and controversial, sometimes disturbing, yet brutally honest in its approach, this film dares to shatter illusions and raise complex issues regarding gay male sexuality. The director encounters 15 gay men whose sexuality revolves around power, dominance and control. The camera voyeuristically captures their sexual interactions, providing insightful conversations, some of which are captured after actual sexual encounters, allowing unusual access to the deeper, psychological aspects of sexuality. Showing with Short: BEDDING ANDREW (Blair Fukumura, Canada, 2014, 5 min) On the eve of his 30th birthday, Andrew reflected on is life as a gay man with Cerebral Palsy and the event that helped shape his identity.
