Here's part 1, and click through to YouTube for the other parts.

Straight Acting is a documentary that tells the story of how filmmaker Spencer Windes "evolved from a Mormon missionary into a comfortably gay man by playing violent contact sports".
It's a small, personal documentary, but will be of interest to the rugby playing gays among you, as the filmmaker is part of a team that competed at the Bingham Cup in London and the tournament features in the film.
Watch it HERE.

Gay porn is very fond of the prison rape fantasy, but this documentary presents the harrowing reality.
Turned Out: Sexual Assault Behind Bars is a sobering look at the grim reality of prison rape, told by the victims and the rapists themselves. It's graphic and disturbing, and the audio is definitely NSFW.
Parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7.
The links above for the whole documentary aren't embeddable, but here's one part from a different YouTube source.

DRAGTIME is a 1997 documentary about the (mostly) New York drag scene, featuring some of New York's best known dragoons (most of whom are still on the scene today, just carrying a few more pounds!): Lady Bunny, Varla Jean Merman, Lypsinka, Candis Cayne, Joey Arias, Charles Busch, Charles Pierce, Flotilla DeBarge... and more. The picture quality isn't great but it's fun.
It's in nine parts. Here's part 1, and click through to YouTube for the others.

Chicken Hawk is a 1994 documentary about the controversial pedophile organization NAMBLA (The North American Man Boy Love Association) - though I guess if we were to be pedantic, they're mostly "hebephiles".
I was talking to my gay Niall about it earlier, and he said that the first time he came across NAMBLA was in the early 90's when he was at a gay pride parade in the US, and Nambla marched, much to the horror of the gays who shouted abuse and threw things at them. I understand how they felt! In the documentary some of the members are interviewed at a gay pride event. I assume you, Dear Readers, don't need me to spell out why that's all sorts of wrong.
It's an interesting watch. The men are very open about what they do, and try to justify it in a very blasé manner. Apart from the obvious moral and ethical objections, what's really fascinating to me is how self-deluded they are. They're convinced that these children are "flirting" with them. Perfectly normal interactions with young boys are seen as sexual advances. There's a scene where one of the men has a very normal interaction on the street with a boisterous young boy on a bike at a public pay-phone, and yet the pedophile is convinced that the interaction was laced with sexual tension.
Anyway, it's a fascinating, creepy, and at times shocking look at the kind of people you read so much about but rarely get to hear.
It's in six parts. Below is part 1, and here are parts 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.

In anticipation of An English Man In New York (see below) I thought you might like to see this small 1968 documentary about Quentin Crisp.
Quentin Crisp (The First Documentary)
After the publication of his book, The Naked Civil Servant, in 1968 Crisp was approached by documentary maker Denis Mitchell to be the subject of a short film in which he was to talk about his life, voice his opinions and sit around in his London bedsit filing his nails.
This 1970 broadcast brought enough attention to Crisp and his book that he soon entered talks about a dramatisation. In 1975 The Naked Civil Servant was broadcast on British and American television - and made both actor John Hurt and Crisp himself into stars. By 1981 Quentin was living in Manhattan - the world famous 'Englishman In New York', but when this film was made, all that was ahead of him. Which make the parts where he speaks about what he expects and wants from the rest of his life all the more interesting. He couldn't have imagined how the latter part of his life would turn out.
It's in three parts.

I've posted this before of course, but seeing as it's one of the best documentaries ever, it deserves another outing as part of our mini festival.
Paris Is Burning chronicles the "ball" culture of New York in the mid to late 1980's among the poor, gay and transgendered African American and Latino communities. Race, class, gender, and fabulosity!
Here's part 1. Click through to YouTube you can watch the rest.
