    FLICKer: 8 Minutes 20 Seconds

    October 8, 2026 / No Comments

    Featuring LGBT short films I found around the interwebz a.k.a Youtube. Okay sucky intro, but yeah, that’s it.


    A gay apocalyptic romance short film about two ex-boyfriends racing against time to find each other before sunlight is gone forever.

    When the sun suddenly dies, humanity is left with just 8 minutes and 20 seconds of daylight before Earth is plunged into eternal darkness and freezing temperatures. As panic spreads across the world, Max embarks on a desperate journey to reconcile with his ex-boyfriend Jasper. Told entirely through mobile phone footage, this emotional race against time explores love, regret, and the lengths we’ll go to for one last chance with the person who matters most.

    Featuring LGBT short films I found around the interwebz a.k.a Youtube. Okay sucky intro, but yeah, that’s it.


    Two students get closer to eachother in a time, that does not intend this. Will the one be able to leave the ruins of his past behind and follow the call of the other?“

    Under every arch, in every wall, Richard von Mönchenberg feels the burden of the past, which he imposes on himself as he explores the ruins of his ancestors as part of an excursion. Does he have to lead the impoverished noble family back to its former greatness? Does he even want to? He could also follow the interesting feeling that he senses when his fellow student Anton Vogt observes him cautiously. He dares to do so in the dim light of the train carriage, but the emotional state does not go unnoticed and their professor, the director of the university, becomes suspicious.

    FLICKer: Scratch (Episode 2)

    September 17, 2026 / No Comments

    Featuring LGBT short films I found around the interwebz a.k.a Youtube. Okay sucky intro, but yeah, that’s it.


    Pressure is mounting against Luke and his relationship with James, with Soph hot on his tail, and James seemingly not putting in as much effort as Luke.

    Luke is drowning in loneliness until he meets the magnetic James. Desperate for connection, Luke is blind to the red flags that are clear to everyone else, and to the man (and bugs) that threaten to ruin his shot at love.

    “SCRATCH” is for all the guys who feel left behind. For the guys who have waited too long in too many carparks for a man who couldn’t care less about them. For the guys who don’t want to hook up with strangers on the internet, but are afraid that no one else will have them.
