PRIVATE LESSONS is the new movie by a Belgium director called Joachim Lafosse. The story is about a teenager who is kicked out of school and suddenly finds himself in a weird relationship to a trio of friends of his mother’s who offer him to give him private lessons. All sorts of private lessons as it turns out. In Germany the movie is going to be released on DVD in January. And if you haven’t seen Lafosse’s “Private Property” starring Isabelle Huppert yet I highly recommend it to you.

GAZE is a documentary about 20 contemporary gay artists such as Bruce LaBruce, Ignacio Lozano or Stuart Sandford. The film is shot by Matt Riddlehoover, a cute looking filmmaker from L.A. whom you may remeber from playing the narcisstic main character in the independent movie Watch Out. I just hope that Riddlehoover doesn’t take it’s subjet too serious – I sometimes have the feeling that anyone who’s shooting pictures of boys wearing masks and neon stuff is considered an artist these days.
