哎呀呀，去哺乳 | Feeding Boys, Ayaya

Director Zi’en Cui’s drama provides a stark look at male prostitution in China. The film centers on Dabin, a Christian evangelist determined to reform every hustler on the streets, especially his little brother, Xiao, who runs off after an argument with Dabin. While searching for his brother, Dabin tries to convert many young hustlers, but he also gains a broader understanding of why so many boys resort to prostitution. Ge Jia and Jian Hu star.

旧约 | The Old Testament

This three-part film explores homosexuality in communist China. In “Psalter,” the brother of a married man does the unthinkable and invites his lover to live in their household. In “Proverbs,” a married man divorces his wife and makes the full commitment to his openly gay lover. But once living together, things don’t turn out the way the couple expects. And “Song of Solomon” looks into a relationship complicated by AIDS.
