One nation under God - the Religious Right and their Crusade to Cure Gay People in America, 1993, (2004 DVD)
Focusing on the contemporary religious Right Wing proliferation of curative therapies for homosexuality, this riveting documentary offers historical context as well as a political analysis of this frighteningly large movement. It shows a variety of inhumane treatments homosexuals have had to endure throughout the years in the 20th century to so called be "cured" of homosexuality. The would-be therapists might be horrified to discover that the likeliest result of such treatments (if they have any effect at all) is to accentuate any latent tendencies towards sado-masochism. The sincerity of these Christian and psychological groups is all the more chilling when it is compared with the activities and doctrines of the Nazis a few generations before. The documentary features interviews with those attempting to "cure" homosexuals, along with interviews with a number of the "formerly cured."

All God's Children - Unlearning Homophobia, 1996, (2004 DVD)
"Unlearning Homophobia" is three very powerful documentary shorts--:"Straight from the Heart", "All God's Children" and "De Colores". Each deals with an aspect of homophobia.
The Unlearning Homophobia series is a treasure of powerful personal stories told by LGBT people and their family members to help people understand what it means to be gay, bisexual, lesbian, and/or transgender. Each of these films are exceptional on their own addressing issues of sexual orientation with regard to religion, race, and ethnicity. Together they are an inspirational, unique resource that is a must for all teachers of human sexuality and any educator working to bring compassion and understanding to LGBT people.

Fish Can't Fly, 2005
Explores the lives of Gay men and women of faith as they recall their journeys to put their sexuality and spirituality in harmony. While the whole concept of changing ones' sexual orientation may be viewed with a high level of skepticism, ridicule and even humor by the larger GLBT community, these are the stories of those who have tried. It's focus actually is men and women who have gone through the "Ex-gay" conversion movement - an intensive process designed to turn homosexuals straight - only to become what one lesbian priest characterizes as "Dos Equis" - Ex-Ex-gay.

Abomination: Homosexuality and the Ex-Gay Movement, 2006
A documentary focusing on sexual orientation conversion therapies (sometimes called "reparative therapy"). Conversion therapies have been criticized by mainstream mental health professionals for the harm they cause and for their practitioners' overstated claims of success. Nevertheless, these "treatments" are increasingly being promoted to, and practiced by, conservative faith communities. Despite the pain chronicled in this groundbreaking film, Abomination is a poignant testament to human resilience and to the sometimes difficult journey to self-acceptance.

For The Bible Tells Me So, 2007
A documentary about homosexuality and its perceived conflict with religion, as well as various interpretations of what the Bible says about same-sex sexuality. An exploration of the intersection between religion and homosexuality in the U.S. and how the religious right has used its interpretation of the Bible to stigmatize the gay community. We meet five Christian families, each with a gay or lesbian child. Parents talk about their marriages and church-going, their children's childhood and coming out, their reactions, and changes over time. A thesis of the film is that much of Christianity's homophobia represents a misreading of scripture, a denial of science, and an embrace of quack psychology. The families call for love.

In Good Conscience: Sister Jeannine Gramick's Journey of Faith, 2004
A most unlikely and very funny rebel - an American nun - finds herself at the center of a human rights storm with leaders of one of the world's most revered institutions, the Roman Catholic Church. This film chronicles the true story of Sister Jeannine Gramick, who is defying a Vatican edict that she shut down her compassionate ministry to gay and lesbian Catholics, and silence herself permanently on the subject of homosexuality. Her battle takes her all the way to Rome and to the door of her key adversary over the years: Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, who would become Pope Benedict XVI. ister Jeannine has worked within the church for more than thirty years on behalf of the LGBT community and its fight for acceptance, recognition, and equality. When issued this ultimatum from Cardinal Ratzinger and Pope John Paul II - denounce homosexuality or lose everything - quietly and with respect, she refused. "I choose not to collaborate in my own oppression by restricting a basic human right," she says. "To me this is a matter of conscience."

Prayers For Bobby, 2009
Based on the true story of the life and legacy of Bobby Griffith, a young gay man who killed himself due to his mother's and community's religious intolerance. Mary believes God can cure him of what she considers his 'sin' and persuades Bobby to pray harder and seek solace in church activities in hopes of changing him. Desperate for his mother's approval, Bobby does what is asked of him, but through it all, the church's apparent disapproval of homosexuality causes him to grow increasingly withdrawn and depressed. His subsequent depression and self-loathing intensifies as he blames himself for not being the 'perfect' son and is driven to suicide... Through her long and emotional journey, Mary slowly reaches out to the gay community and discovers unexpected support from a very unlikely source.

http://www.mylifetime.com/movies/interview-mary-griffith-inspiration-behind-prayers-bobby?page=0,0
Krutý film o zaslepenosti vírou a o tom, jak některé věci nejde vzít zpátky, u něhož se pláče. Příběh Mary Griffith natočený podle skutečné události ukazuje silně nábožensky založenou americkou rodinu, která žije v dokonalosti do té doby, než se Bobby Griffith svěří svému staršímu bratrovi, že je gay. Matka (Sigourney Weaver) posedlá vším, co říká bible, Bobbymu život nijak neulehčí. Bobby je vyloučen z rodiny a odstěhuje se ke své sestřenici do Portlandu. Nezvládá neustálé obviňování od své matky a spáchá sebevraždu. Bobbyho matka si po pár měsících od jeho smrti začíná uvědomovat, že je víc rodin, které mají stejný problém, jako měla ona, a začne navštěvovat náboženské spolky konzultující tyto dramatické životní příběhy. Ač se jedná o televizní film se všemi jeho klasickými neduhy, herecké výkony byly na výborné úrovni, což bylo hlavně znát v emočně vypjatých momentech filmu. A nutno podotknout, že jich bylo nemálo. Zejména pak zazářila ústřední dvojice Sigourney Weaver, jež byla po zásluze za svůj výkon nominována na Zlatý Globus, a Ryan Kelley. No a výpovědní hodnota snímku, jehož téma je aktuální i dnes? K nezaplacení.

Through My Eyes, 2009
GCN, the Gay Christian Network, released the DVD Through My Eyes, a DVD in which 26 young GLBT Christians shared their private stories and their journeys in trying to reconcile their faith and sexual orientation, sharing their struggles, fears and the obstacles they encountered. Every Christian should see through their eyes.

Spoločenstvo, ktoré dnes spája už desiatky tisícov homosexuálnych kresťanov, "Gay Christian Network", vytvorilo dokumentárny film "Trough My Eyes" ("Mojimi očami"), v ktorom mladí neheterosexuálni kresťania hovoria o svojej skúsenosti, o tom, čo prežívali, keď svoju homosexuálnu orientáciu tajili, o tom, čo sa pre nich zmenilo, keď sa zdôverili spoločenstvu svojich cirkví, o nepochopení a neprijatí, ktoré zažívali aj vtedy, ak vôbec nežili sexuálne, o nevedomosti, necitlivosti a selektívnej podmienečnej láske svojich spolubratov a spolusestier, ako aj o tom, čo im skutočne pomohlo prežiť a "dýchať".
Dokument je určený na rozprúdenie diskusie k danej realite v cirkvách a kresťanských spoločenstvách. Pritom nemá ľavicové, liberálne, politické, ani protikresťanské, či iné ideologické pozadie, nestojí za ním "homolobby", nie je vytvorený propagandou "kresťanofóbov", nedotýka sa legislatívnej oblasti civilných zákonov, ani neutvára nátlak na nerealistické zmeny cirkevného učenia. Rozhodne však hovorí o zmene často necitlivých, bojovných, až agresívnych spôsobov, akými neraz aj tradiční konzervatívni kresťania svoje učenie a postoje podávajú. A hlavne približuje príbehy, otázky a ťažkosti ľudí, ktorým tisíce podobných žijú aj medzi nami, či si to priznať chceme alebo nie.

Supper man, 2004, SR, 50'
Cena publika pre najlepší celovečerný hraný film na LGBT-film festivale Mezipatra 2005, ČR
Réžia/Scenár: Albert Vlk, Hudba: Oskar Rózsa, Kamera: Tomáš Sabo, Produkcia: Vicky Novosadová, FTF VŠMU, Účinkujú: Zdena Studenková, Emil Píš, Štefan Kožka, Karol Čálik, Henrieta Mičkovicová, Martin Mňahončák, Robo Roth....
"Som homosexuál," povie rodičom dospievajúci syn Roland v najnevhodnejšom čase, počas rodinnej oslavy. Rodičia sa rozhodnú syna „vyliečiť z homosexuality" v špeciálnom sanatóriu.
Film obsahuje parodické prvky, zdobí ho autentická atmosféra a vynikajúce herecké výkony. Bol nakrútený v čase, keď sa na Slovensku vážne diskutovalo o liečení a vyliečení homosexuality, pričom výroky v prospech liečenia homosexuality bolo možné počuť dokonca z úst odborného lekára. Homosexualita však nie je generačná vzbura ani vírus, ktorý sa šíri ako pásavka zemiaková z kapitalistického sveta...
Príbeh o spoločnosti, kde sú niektorí vplyvní jedinci presvedčení o tom, že dokážu liečiť niečo, čo nie je chorobou. Príbeh o spoločnosti, kde žijú ľudia ochotní im to uveriť. Je hrozné narodiť sa ako homosexuál a žiť v takej spoločnosti....
Subtitles: English
Parents decide to cure their son from homosexuality in a special sanatorium.
The film takes place in present-day Bratislava and focuses on the teenager Roland, just going through his coming out. Supper Man shows the narrow-mindedness and rigidness of his parents who are not able to accept their son's homosexuality. Roland is confused and lonely and when he finally finds somebody, he runs away. In the end, he is put into a sanatorium where, his parents hope, he can be "cured". Of course this will not happen and Roland returns home. Being still gay.

Anjeli plačú, 2005, SR, 55'
Réžia/Scenár/Kamera: Zuza Piussi, Produkcia: Robert Kirchhoff,
Film rozkrýva v širšom priestore a čase niekoľko osudov homosexuálov. Emocionálne situácie z ich života sú zároveň výpoveďou o existencii človeka v konflikte so spoločenskými normami a sebou samým.
Slovensko je krajinou, ktorej súčasnosť a história stojí na tradíciách. Tieto tradície, tak silne zakorenené v pospolitom Slovákovi sa opierajú hlavne o princípy založené na kresťanskej morálke. Po páde železnej opony v roku 1989 padli okrem zákazov slobodného vierovyznania aj ďalšie konvencie obmedzujúce slobodu jednotlivca, jeho duchovný a intímny život.
Medzi menšinami, ktoré táto zmena zasiahla najintenzívnejšie sú aj homosexuáli. Začali byť viditeľnejší a niektorí vzťahy medzi sebou prestali skrývať. Predsa sa však v mnohom nič nezmenilo. Hoci vznikli homosexuálne bary a diskotéky, výrazne chýba oslobodenie vnútorné, ktoré by nebránilo prestať sa za svoju orientáciu hanbiť. Najväčším problémom však je vnímanie homosexuálov okolím. Dnešná ešte stále konštituujúca sa morálka a etika v slovenskej spoločnosti prijíma homosexuálov len váhavo. Táto bariéra v mysliach ľudí je, ako obyčajne založená na predsudkoch a zakorenenom odmietaní.

Miluj blížneho svojho, 2010, SR,
Vladimíra Hradecká v dokumentárnom filme zachytáva reakcie ľudí, na prvý slovenský pochod za práva LGBT komunity, ktorý sa uskutočnil 22. mája 2010 v Bratislave.
V snímke sa zameriava na reakcie kresťanských združení (vrátane skupiny Gay-Christians in Slovakia, ktorá združuje homosexuálne orientovaných veriacich a ich blízkych), priestor dostal aj organizačný tím pochodu či Slovenská pospolitosť.
"Na Facebooku vznikla skupina 'Sme proti pochodu sodomitov v uliciach Bratislavy'. Pozreli sme sa tam a boli tam všelijaké zvláštne názory. Niektorých z tých ľudí sme skontaktovali, že robíme film o pochode a chceme tam mať názory zo všetkých strán," hovorí režisérka filmu.

Priest, 1994
While trying to serve his flock, Father Greg has his own personal demons to wrestle. Not only is he unable to keep his vow of celibacy, he breaks it with another man - something many of his less-tolerant parishioners would surely view as an "abomination" if they learned of it. Even as he struggles with his sexual identity and its implications, Father Greg is forced to endure an additional crisis of faith when a fourteen year old girl comes to him under the seal of confession and admits to being sexually molested by her father. Priest addresses both social and religious themes. There is, of course, no answer to most of the questions that Greg agonizes over, but these - such as how Christ could expect him to keep silent when that silence condemns a girl to continued suffering - are presented for the audience's consideration. It is by his reaction to the issues that Greg's true character is slowly revealed. It doesn't take long for us to realize that our first impression of the man is as false as his facade. Attempting to show the twistedness of faith, the priest must come to terms with why God is cruel, how can he love a man and how can he remain faithful to his God and church.

http://filmdramas.suite101.com/article.cfm/priest_1994_gay_film_review
Myslím si, že autorom tohto filmu sa podarilo predstaviť verejnosti obraz spoločenstva veriacich ľudí s nevyslovenou kritikou, ale i s pochopením pre ich ľudské slabosti. Film nikoho neodsudzuje ani neprikrášľuje. Niet v ňom klasicky kladného ani záporného hrdinu. Na filmovom plátne sa pred našimi očami odohráva kus zo života mladého a horlivého kňaza, ktorý prichádza do svojej farnosti s úprimnou vôľou a snahou priviesť tých ľudí k Božím ideálom. Jeho spolupracovníkom sa stáva kňaz, ktorý nezvládol bremeno celibátu a v jeho službe mu pomáha jeho priateľka. Mladý (a pre priaznivcov mužskej krásy musím poznamenať, že i pekný) kňaz to odhalí a v prvej chvíli sa s tým nedokáže vyrovnať. Keď však istého večera bojuje so svojou samotou a opustenosťou, sadá na bicykel a i on hľadá niekoho, kto by bol v tých chvíľach s ním. Ibaže... je homosexuál. Je v tom nejaký rozdiel? Oficiálne možno už nie, ale musíme si priznať, že nielen v anglickej spoločnosti, ale i v našej, sa ešte stále inak pozerá na homosexuálov a inak na tých "normálnych". Od prvej chvíle tohto odhalenia divák sleduje dramatický zápas v duši kňaza.

Bent, 1997
The film version is adapted by the playwright, Martin Sherman, and closely follows his play's story of two gay concentration camp victims who are sent to Dachau and who fall in love, using their relationship as an emotional crutch in their efforts to rebuff the horror of the Holocaust. Max would rather wear a yellow star and proclaim himself a Jew than be lanced with the pink triangle that designates homosexuality. Horst chastises him for his homophobia. Later the tables turn on Max, who finds--through Horst--the strength both to keep alive indefinitely and to ultimately embrace his sexual identity. Horst reaches out to him, and shows him how to live and love freely even under the oppressive and constant threat of death.

Britský snímek vypráví o málo známé stránce historie nacismu - perzekuci homosexuálů v hitlerovském Německu. Bent (slangový výraz pro homosexuála) vypráví příběh židovského playboye Maxe, který žije se svým přítelem, tanečníkem Rudim, ale nevyhýbá se ani příležitostným známostem. Jeho osud dramaticky změní takzvaná noc dlouhých nožů, v nížv roce 1934 vyústily mocenské rozpory v nejvyšších patrech nacistického vedení. Jako jedna z oficiálních příčin krvavého zátahu na špičky jednotek SA byla uvedena v podstatě neskrývaná homosexualita velitele této polovojenské organizace Ernsta Röhma. Po střetu s gestapem utíká Max společně se svým přítelem do lesů. Avšak ani zde není v bezpečí. Brzy je chycen a po jízdě vlakem smrti ho čeká vězeňský mundur a vytetované číslo na ruce v koncentračním lágru Dachau. Jeho přítel Rudi transport a kruté bití nepřežije. Díky židovskému původu Max může na pruhovaných hadrech nosit "jen" Davidovu žlutou hvězdu. Naštěstí proto, že i zde byli Židé stále víc než růžovým trojuhelníkem ocejchovaní homosexuálové. Ty čekala automatická smrt. Nicméně i za ostnatými bylo možné poznat cit. A díky němu Max konečně pochopil, pro co stojí za to žít.

Paragraph 175, 2000
Paragraph 175 is a documentary film released in 2000, directed by Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman, and narrated by Rupert Everett. The film chronicles the lives of several men who were arrested by the Nazis for homosexuality under Paragraph 175, the sodomy provision of the German penal code, dating back to 1871. Between 1933 and 1945, 100,000 men were arrested under Paragraph 175. Some were imprisoned, others were sent to concentration camps. Only about 4,000 survived. In 2000, fewer than ten of these men were known to be living. Five come forward in the documentary to tell their stories for the first time, considered to be among the last untold stories of the Third Reich.

Ve dvacátých létech 20. století byl Berlín znám jako ráj homosexuálů, ve kterém gayové i lesby vedli relativně otevřený život v prostředí živé umělecké a intelektuální subkultury. S nástupem nacistů se vše změnilo. Mezi léty 1933 a 1945 bylo podle §175 říšského zákoníku z roku 1871, týkajícího se "sodomie", uvězněno na 100.000 mužů. Někteří skončili v káznicích, jiní v koncentračních táborech. Přežily jich asi 4.000... Dnes se ví jen o deseti z nich. Pět z nich se odhodlalo v tomto filmu poprvé vyprávět svou historii.

Trembling Before G-D, 2001
Trembling Before G-d is a documentary film about gay and lesbian Orthodox Jews trying to reconcile their sexuality with their faith. It was directed by Sandi Simcha DuBowski, an American who wanted to compare orthodox attitudes to homosexuality with his own upbringing as a gay Conservative Jew. The film won several awards, including the Teddy Award for best documentary film at the 2001 Berlin Film Festival, as well as best documentary at the 2001 Chicago International Film Festival and the 2003 GLAAD Media Awards. The film follows the lives of several gay and lesbian Orthodox Jews and includes interviews with rabbis and psychotherapists about Orthodox attitudes towards homosexuality. During the film's six-year production, DuBowski met hundreds of homosexual Jews, but only a handful agreed to be filmed due to fear of being ostracized from their communities.

Ako to vlastne je: „Môžem byť pobožnou lesbičkou alebo homosexuálom?" Na takého otázky sa snažia hľadať odpoveď muži i ženy, ktorí sú hlboko veriaci Židia, ale milujú ľudí svojho pohlavia. Trápia sa oni aj ich blízki. Cítia sa ako vyhnanci. Celý život bojujú s rozporom medzi zásadami židovskej viery a svojimi pocitmi. Konečne sa odvážili priznať si túto dilemu a hľadať na ňu odpoveď u rabínov, rodičov i spoločnosti.

Anatomy of the Hate Crime, 2001
Fact-based drama centering on the brutal 1998 murder of Matthew Shepard, an openly homosexual college student in Wyoming, by two homophobic, trouble-making teens and their co-conspirator girlfriends which prompted an outcry of support for the Shepard family and tougher hate-crime laws, but also support for Matthew's killers by religious leaders and homophobic activists. Anatomy of a Hate Crime focuses on the months leading up to and following the 1998 murder of Wyoming college student Matthew Shepard. Max Ember's teleplay explores not only Shepard's struggle for self-acceptance, but also the petty criminality and downward mobility of his killers and their girlfriends. Anatomy of a Hate Crime tells another compelling version of events that shaped the ongoing national debate about gay rights. This well-made MTV production thoroughly captures the lives of the young people of Laramie and the promising student who lost his life due to intolerance and ignorance.

V univerzitním městě Laramie ve Wyomingu se 6. října 1998 stalo něco, co je navždy poznamenalo. Té noci byl surově zbit a brutálně zavražděn homosexuální student Matthew Shepard a Laramie se stalo symbolem násilí. Skupina mladých herců a autorů z newyorské divadelní společnosti Tectonic Theatre Project vedená režisérem Nestorem Carbonellem odjíždí do Laramie, aby o Shepardově smrti napsala multimediální hru a zjistila, jak tato neblahá událost ovlivnila město i jeho obyvatele. Umělci kladou nepříjemné otázky všem - mladým i starým, gayům, mužům i ženám, Matthewovým kamarádům i těm, kteří ho vůbec neznali, a také zpovídají přátele a blízké Aarona McKinneye a Russella Hendersona, kteří byli z násilného činu obviněni. "Tento příběh nevypovídá o jednom případu vraždy, ale o městě, kde k ní došlo," říká Kaufman. "Proč se to stalo právě tady? Co tomu lidé říkají? Jak se cítí a co si myslí?"

Fixing Frank, 2002
Reporter, Frank Johnston is sent undercover to write an expose on Dr. Arthur Apsey, a doctor who claims he can successfully turn gay men into straight men. The script abounds with a type of intellectual grandiosity, which is very rare in movies today. The film begins as freelance journalist Frank Johnston is visiting psychologist Dr. Arthur Apsey. Apsey claims that he can "cure" gay men of their same-sex desires and make them straight. Frank's psychotherapist partner Dr. Jonathan Baldwin has seen the results of Apsey's work - he's worked with some of Apsey's patients - and is outraged at the damage that Apsey is doing. Apsey performs conversion therapy on gay male clients, a practice which Jonathan finds reprehensible. Jonathan has asked Frank to go undercover to write and article about him and hopefully expose Apsey as the dangerous fraud that he is. The two lovers, however, have vastly underestimated Apsey's intellectual brilliance, and his penchant for twisting words and point of view to suit his own perverted agenda. He begins to attack Frank emotionally, gradually wearing him down, until the man begins to truly doubt himself.

A Love To Hide/Un amour a taire, 2005
This is one of the few films dealing with gay persecution during the Nazi era. It works unflinchingly to ground the material in both a French and German Nazi context. Its brutal but honest portrayal tests the viewer's tolerance for the horrific. Yet this film manages to be subtle, nuanced and rich not only through its script, but also in its period depiction, and lastly, in its dramatic execution. Obviously a work of love, this film conveys much of what is worst and best of humanity set in 1942 during the upheaval of Nazi-occupied Paris. Rarely has a film combined suspense, pathos, intelligence, sadness and humor in such a tight and heart wrenching narrative

Paríž, jar 1942. Sarah, Jean a Philippe sú priatelia vo veku medzi 20 a 30 rokov. Sharah je Židovka, oni homosexuáli. Počas okupácie Francúzka, keď sa porušujú skoro všetky morálne zásady a len nedôvera a strach určujú správanie ľudí, sú všetci traja naplnení jednou a tou istou túžbou: prežiť. Sarah v sebe živí beznádejnú lásku k mladému odbojárovi Jeanovi, zamilovanému do Philippa. Po vyvraždení jej rodiny na úteku cez hranice, spôsobenom zradou falošného prievozníka, Sarah nájde útočisko u Jeana, ktorý pracuje v čistiarni svojich rodičov. Jean poskytne svojej dávnej priateľke a láske z detstva pomoc. U Philippa si spoločne vytvoria bezstarostný ostrovček, ako keby chceli odplávať preč od strastí tohto sveta a prežiť iný život, ako im vnucuje vojna, ktorú nikto z nich nechcel zažiť. Jedného dňa Gestapo zatkne Jeana pre podozrenie z pomeru s dôstojníkom Wermachtu. Nacisti ho deportujú do koncentračného tábora, čím sa začína jeho zostup do pekiel v znamení ružového trojuholníka.

God and Gays Bridging the Gap, 2006
Whether coming to terms with a loved one's homosexuality, or attempting to reconcile your own faith, everyone involved in this movie has experienced these very same obstacles and pain. AND, even more important to YOU, they also have experienced the solutions and tools that it takes to get through this kind of struggle - and to feel ALIVE again. This documentary from director Luane Beck chronicles the difficult lives of those who identify themselves as both Christian and gay. Though many denominations consider homosexuality a sin, these people demonstrate that it's possible to be living a life of faith even though they might be going against the mainstream church. Featuring interviews with many prominent gay Christians, God and Gays Bridging the Gap is a thought-provoking film that addresses a timely issue. A documentary to break the silence and open dialogue on a major taboo subject. God & Gays puts the face and heartbeat of humanity onto the emotionally-charged issue and answers: what is the "gay agenda"? Is being gay a choice? What does the Bible say? Is it possible to be gay AND religious or must we choose?

Camp Out, 2006
10 campers attend the first summer camp for gay Christian youth. These Midwestern teenagers enjoy a week in an accepting environment where they can begin to reconcile their sexuality with their faith among supportive councillors and others facing the same issues. For these six boys and four girls, it's just as hard to come out as Christian as it is to come out as gay. They're caught in the battle between religion, politics and sexuality that's raging in the United States today. These kids are outsiders - their straight classmates ostracize them and their churches reject them. But like all teens, they yearn to feel at home, somewhere. Struggling to find a way to be true to both their spirituality and their sexual identity, these teens come to camp hoping to finally find a place of acceptance.

The Trouble With Gay Men, 2006
"When a friend heard that I had just made a documentary called The Trouble With Gay Men, his only response was: "What, just one hour?" His cynicism may well be justified. In just one hour I get to burn every bridge in the gay world I've got. I'll become the whipping boy of the more extreme political factions of the gay world, and also of the hedonists who drink and drug and whore their way up the gay pleasure food chain in search of the ultimate high. Because both groups still think it is enough to be gay in order to be good. I no longer do. And in this programme I set out to expose the fact that we gay men are living the lives of teenagers, still obsessed with sex, bodies, drugs, youth, and being "gay". I deliberately say "we" and "I" throughout: talking about cruising, saunas, too much time spent on the web on gaydar - I own up to the lot, just like my gay friends do. This is not some sanctimonious moraliser looking into the goldfish bowl; it's a gay man in his 40s looking at the big open world and wondering when we are going to grab the chance to be grown-up in a society that now regards us, legislatively at least, as equals."

"Tažkosti s gaymi - The Trouble With Gay Men", dokument, ktorý vytvoril britský gay aktivista, novinár, satirik a humorista, jeden zo zakladajúcich členov britskej gay-organizácie "Stonewall", Simon Fanshawe, narazil na nepochopenie aj v častiach samotnej gay-komunite. Z YouTube film stiahli, údajne pre copyright, ale je dosť možné, že aj na tlak gaykritikov gaykritika... Lebo, hoci nie kresťan, ani nijako nie nábožensky motivovaný, Fanshawe dokumentom zotázňuje mnohé postoje, názory, zvyklosti súčasných generácií gay-komunity, ktorá v Británii už nemusí viesť zápas o uznanie a rovnoprávnosť, ani kultúrne a spoločenské zviditeľnenie a prijatie. Humorne, satiricky aj ironicky sa dotýka takých skutočností ako je napr. promiskuita, ľahkosť nájsť partnera na jednorazový sex a ťažkosť nájsť trvalý vzťah...; stereotypickosť v seba prezentovaní, resp. až detinské napodobovanie detinských idolov showbiznisu...; sex zredukovaný na biznis a "rekreáciu"..., povrchnosť, bezduchosť, nezrelosť, narcizmus a egoizmus...; atď. Fanshawe dokument tak trochu zhrnul v otázke: "Society now accepts gay men as equals. So why on earth do so many continue to behave like teenagers...? - Spoločnosť dnes akceptuje gayov ako rovnocenných. Prečo sa teda mnohí z nich naďalej správajú ako nedospelí...?"
 
 
Save Me, 2007
Exploration of the controversial Ex-gay movement. If you have ever had to endure condemnation from the conservative Christian community or rejection from friends and family who think you just need to "try harder," I strongly recommend you see this film.
Upon release from the hospital, Mark is left in the charge of Gayle and Ted, the husband-wife team who run "Genesis House", a farm and boarding house that specializes in "curing" men of the "brokenness of homosexuality" through Christian ministry. Two men ironically find love and God when they enter a small New Mexico Ministry designed to "free them of their homosexuality"...

Mark je drogově závislý mladý gay, který vede nezřízený život, užívá si nevázaného sexu, přičemž vše vyvrcholí předávkováním. Lékařům se ho podaří zachránit a Markova spořádaná a věřící rodina přijde s řešením jeho situace. Markovi je zajištěn pobyt v církevním nápravném středisku vedeném Gayle, která věří, že je schopná pomoci vyléčit mladé muže z homosexuality skrze správné duchovní vedení a navést je tak na správnou životní cestu v duchu křesťanských hodnot. Zezačátku Mark vzdoruje snahám Gayle a jejího milujícího manžela Teda o nápravu, ale brzy nalezne útěchu ve spřátelení se s ostatními mladíky a muži zařazenými do nápravného programu. Nejvíce se sblíží se Scottem, který se zde také snaží vypořádat se svými rodinnými a osobními problémy způsobenými svou homosexuální orientací. Vztah Marka a Scotta přeroste hranice běžného přátelství a oba jsou nuceni vypořádat se s nastalou situací...

A Jihad for Love, 2007
A Jihad for Love is the world's first documentary film on the coexistence of Islam and homosexuality. The film is directed by Parvez Sharma, and produced by Sharma and Trembling Before G-d director Sandi DuBowski. The film has also been known under the working title In the Name of Allah. In a time when Islam is under tremendous attack from within and without, "A Jihad for Love" is a daring documentary filmed in twelve countries and nine languages. Muslim gay filmmaker Parvez Sharma has gone where the silence is loudest, filming with great risk in nations where government permission to make this film was not an option.

Proč musí mít nebe pro každého stejnou barvu?" ptá se mladý muslim z Íránu, usilující o exil v Kanadě. Důvod, proč byl nucen prchnout z vlasti, je jediný. Jako gayovi mu totiž podle zákona hrozil přísný trest. Stejně jako řada dalších gayů a leseb z Jižní Afriky, Pákistánu, severní Indie či Egypta vyznávajících islám však nepřestává být pevný ve víře. Může být gay nebo lesba v očích ostatních věřících stále dobrým muslimem? Režisér Parvez Šarma na přání vystupujících zastřel ve filmu polovinu tváří. Přístup společnosti k homosexuální orientaci je všude v muslimském světě stejně odmítavý, jen tresty se liší - od bičování přes věznění až po rozsudek smrti. Gayové a lesby z muslimského světa vnímají svou lásku k lidem stejného pohlaví různě - ve vztahu k islámu pociťují vinu, ale zároveň se svých citů nechtějí vzdát. Diskutují o tom, jestli není korán interpretován příliš jednostranně, protože se v něm objevují homoerotické prvky. Dočkají se v muslimském světě změn, aby za svou lásku nemuseli tak draze platit?

Chasing the Devil: Inside the Ex-Gay Movement, 2008
A feature documentary film presenting an unflinching look at the personal journeys of four people who claim to have changed their sexual orientation from gay to straight. Their stories mark the first time documentary filmmakers have been allowed inside the "ex-gay" movement and provide an empathetic and, at times, devastating portrait of those who claim homosexuality is an illness that can be healed. Form the face of the Ex-Gay Movement, charismatic reparative therapist Richard Cohen, to John Sterback, inspired to embrace his own reorientation, to the Ex-Gay ministries where Joanne Highley preaches to Peterson Toscano that demons are the cause of homosexuality, and exorcisms are the preferred form of treatment. With unprecedented access, award-winning filmmakers provide an empathetic and at times devastating portrait of those who claim homosexuality is a sin that can be healed. Chasing the Devil reveals the extreme lengths that some people will go to deny the truth to enable them to fit into a culture that shuns them.

Fish Out of Water, 2009
If you look to the Bible in the formation of your opinions about homosexuality, this light-hearted and enlightening documentary should pique your interest. Fish out of Water tackles the seven Bible verses used to condemn homosexuality and justify marriage discrimination. This feature documentary uses humour and original animation to make a traditionally complex and controversial topic accessible to those who don't like talking about religion and sexuality.
Filmmaker Ky Dickens examines the stories of Adam and Eve, Sodom and Gomorrah, and other well-known Biblical passages anew and subjects them to fresh scrutiny. The filmmakers chose an extremely credible, well-published and esteemed group of theologians and scholars to help put all the Bible verses in context. The film also includes interviews with theologians and members of the lesbian and gay communities.
For anyone involved in politics, For anyone involved with the youth, For anyone who knows a gay person, for anyone who knows a religious person, for anyone who has struggled with their stance on homosexuality or on faith - this is a MUST SEE movie.

For Such a Time as This, 2010
Central to evangelical efforts to reach out to the Gay community are Ex-gay ministries that encourage people to pray and help them not be gay. For Such A Time As This explores the issue by interviewing key players from both sides of the growing divide.
Is reconciliation between Evangelical Christians and the Gay community possible? Can common ground be found in the intense culture wars that have consumed our nation? Our documentary film entitled, "For Such A Time As This," seeks to answer these burning questions.

This is What Love in Action Looks Like, 2010-2011
Then 16-year-old Zach Stark gained the attention worldwide after his parents forced him to attend the controversial Ex-gay program Love in Action. In the summer of 2005 a 16yo Zach Stark, Memphis, TN, wrote on his MySpace blog about his parents sending him to a "Fundamentalist Christian" program that claimed to offer "Freedom from homosexuality". What followed is a modern day message in a bottle, as teens in the local community stood up for their friend with daily protests which eventually grew to include a huge plethora of individuals demonstrating at the facility in what would become an international news story. The documentary features several former clients of the organization who tell their personal stories about the time they spent within the programs walls, including exclusive never before seen interviews with several teenagers who were forced into the "Refuge" program.

Taking a Chance On God: The John McNeill Story ("Uncommon Jesuit"), 2010-2011
For over 38 years, I have ministered as priest and psychotherapist to lesbians and gays. I helped found Dignity/New York to provide a safe and loving community within the Catholic Church for gay people. For over 33 years, I have given retreats for lesbians and gays. I have written four books on gay spirituality, I also published an autobiography on my own spiritual journey as a gay priest. As a result of my experience, I have come to the conclusion that what is at stake at this point in time is not only the spiritual and psychological health of many gay and lesbian Catholics and other lesbian and gay Christians, as well as their families and loved ones, what is especially at stake is your moral authority to teach on the issue of homosexuality...
Brendan Fay, a producer of the documentary Saint of 9/11, has been working for four years now on a documentary on my life and ministry. During the four years it was being produced, we gave it the tentative title "Uncommon Jesuit." Most critics thought that title was too narrow and failed to catch the essence of the documentary. I titled the second book I wrote on GLBT spirituality "Taking A Chance On God: Liberating Theology for Gays, Lesbians, and Their Lovers, Families, and Friends." Everyone involved in producing the documentary are convinced that the title "Taking a Chance On God" was the perfect title for my documentary.
Despite almost 50 years given over to a ministry to bring a message of God's love to LBGT people and challenging the falsehoods in Church teaching on homosexuality, my message has scarcely scratched the surface... Precisely at this moment there is a desperate need to produce a powerful witness to the profound goodness and even sacredness of gay relations as part of God's creation. Young GLBT people all over the world need to hear a consoling message that liberates them from false shame and guilt over who they are, a message that clearly proclaims the message of God's love for them! I hope my documentary can prove to be a giant step in that direction.

Alfredo's Fire, Film in production 2000 - ?
Open Eye Pictures production company, USA, "Our goal is to open eyes and communicate ideas in the most effective ways."
On January 13, 1998 Alfredo Ormando, a 39-year old Italian writer, arrived in Rome just as the sun was rising. After his long journey from Sicily, he found his way to the empty piazza of the Vatican and, facing the entrance to the Basilica, knelt down as if to pray. He made a rapid hand gesture and suddenly was engulfed in flames. Before the Church and, he hoped, the world, Alfredo Ormando had set himself on fire: "I hope they'll understand the message I want to leave: it is a form of protest against the Church that demonizes homosexuality, and at the same time all of nature, because homosexuality is a child of Mother Nature."
In 2000, the year of the Jubilee, Pope John-Paul II exhorted his followers in the same spot where Alfredo Ormando had set himself on fire two years prior, telling them that homosexuality was "unnatural" and that the Church had a "duty to distinguish between good and evil." In 2005, the new Pope Benedict committed himself to even harsher anti-gay teachings, initiating what some see as a gay witchhunt within the Catholic clergy, fighting same-sex partnership legislation worldover, and sending the message that homosexuals have no place in God's kingdom.
A one-hour documentary, ALFREDO'S FIRE brings to life the man behind the flames and the issues his fire illuminates. The film exposes tensions between faith and homosexuality; conformity and individuality; and shows the deadly consequences of religious intolerance.

13. január 1998, Námestie sv. Petra, Rím. Osamelý pútnik pokľakol pred bazilikou a ... Vzplanul ohňom ako obrovská pochodeň. Polial sa benzínom a zapálil. V neďalekej nemocnici si pretrpel svoj posledný deviatnik, svoj posledný nemý krik k Bohu. Vo Vatikáne pred 10 rokmi od 13. do 23. januára 1998 pomaly umieral 39 ročný homosexuálne orientovaný Alfredo Ormando. Zanechal po sebe niekoľko listov, básne, rozpracované knihy. Zo všetkých je jasné, aký vnútorný konflikt ho viedol k ukončeniu života (bez)mocným výkrikom v srdci Katolíckej Cirkvi. Prečo nenašiel domov v Cirkvi, v spoločenstve kresťanov? Prečo tá osamelosť, neprijatie a nepochopenie? Prečo tá bolesť, ten celoživotný konflikt, ktorý tisíce iných uzatvára v celoživotnej samote a beznádeji a vedie aj k psychiatrii a k samovraždám? A dokedy ešte...?
Celovečerný dokumentárny film ALFREDO'S FIRE - "Alfrédov oheň" približuje človeka za týmito otázkami a za plameňom, k akému viedli... Film odhaľuje napätie medzi vierou a homosexualitou, ako aj smrteľné dôsledky náboženskej tvrdosti a neprijatia.
Žiaľ, hlavne z finančných dôvodov, je film už dlhšie v stave pred definitívnym ukončením. 10 min. ukážku z filmu môžete vidieť v článku na našej webstránke, viď adresu nižšie, alebo na webstránke tvrocov filmu, viď adresu vyššie.
