Eyes on the Guys
A candid look at the homoerotic depiction of
men in film spanning fifty years.
Eye on the Guy: Alan B Stone and the Age of Beefcake
Dir: Philip Lewis and Jean-Francois
Monette, Canada, 2006, Beta-SP, 49 mins
Long before Calvin Klein’s poster boys marched into public view,
Alan B. Stone was taking erotic photographs of men for physique magazines
during the 1950s and early 60s. These semi-clandestine magazines were
all about gay desire but had to disguise themselves as educational.
Eye on the Guy explores the
world of beefcake photography – a scene that paved the way for gay
liberation – through the work of one its most creative figures. Former
models reminisce about the heyday of Stone’s studio.
Stone also left a rich pictorial record of the Canadian West of the 1960s.
Adventurous, gifted, inventive – Stone was always curious… and
his eye always on the guy.
Damon and Hunter: Doing it Together
Dir: Tony Comstock, USA, 2006,
DVD, 46 mins
Damon and Hunter is a frank and erotic depiction of the sexual and emotional relationship between longtime lovers Damon DeMarco and Hunter James. The film centres on an explicit portrayal of them making love.
Film makers Tony and Peggy Comstock have crafted a whole new genre of erotic film – not art, not porn, but a genuinely cinematic exploration and celebration of the very human experience of sex. A hard-core love story – fun, sexy and provocative.
