Makes ‘KIDS’ look like Playschool
A provocative film acted by real street kids, 15 exposes a gritty side of modern-day Singapore life that will blow your mind…
“Growing up in the world’s most oppressive nanny state can be bad for your mental health, and 15 tells it like it is. 26-year-old Royston Tan’s social satire has given local censors their biggest ever headache by focusing on Singapore’s ‘problem’ boys: the ones from broken homes, the ones who smuggle drugs, the dropouts, the ones who obsess on suicide and tend to die young. But what could have been a grungy social-realist tract is actually a dizzying collage of teenage experience…Tan keeps scenes short and stylized, plasters the screen with captions and throws in everything from animation to fast rewinds to keep things cooking. Much of it is universal: gangs, video-games, bad role models, fake tattoos, crypto-gay bonding, piercings, self-pity, amateur rapping…but Tan doesn’t shrink from the dark side: he looks at teen suicides with wicked black humour, confronts the reality of self-harm, admits that boys prostitute themselves for pocket money…”
Vancouver Film Festival
Frenetic, violent and funny; 15 is an electrifiying account of life on the streets. Unmissable.

Fourteen centuries after the revelation of the holy Qur’an to the Prophet Muhammad, Islam today is the world’s second largest and fastest-growing religion. This is the story of Islam from its most unlikely champions: lesbian and gay Muslims.
Made in secret, under the radar of ruling Muslim governments and clerics, A JIHAD FOR LOVE is the world’s first feature documentary to explore the complex global intersections between Islam and homosexuality.

From the flat he shares with an addled aunt (Mimi Ardu), gaunt and lonely scribe and AIDS patient Pablo (Juan Minujin) forces himself to write, while composing personal ads that quietly beg "take me as slave or master" and making ends meet as a French tutor. It's April 1996, and though the then-new Anti-Retroviral cocktail therapy is showing promise, Pablo frets that these and other therapies could be lethal. At the same time he seeks to ease his physical suffering, he tries to soothe his emotional pain by cruising gay clubs looking for that one last great love. When he falls in with a shadowy bondage crowd, Pablo discovers a way to transform the pain of his disease into an extreme form of pleasure.The Teddy Award winner at the 2005 Berlin International Film Festival, A YEAR WITHOUT LOVE is a moving portrait of a gay man in search of connection - and a cure.
