College Boys Live dir. George O'Donnell2009 / USA / 90 min This is a fascinating rather than titillating exploration into the world of webcam voyeurism that may have some audiences questioning their own personal hobbies. In a quiet Orlando suburb three young men struggle to escape the wreckage of their pasts and create new lives for themselves. Their new home is CollegeBoysLive.com, a voyeur webcam house rigged with 32 cameras, where their every move is watched by thousands of paying members. The site's creator claims they are simply showing that "it's okay to be gay." But the neighbors insist it's a pornographic whorehouse and sue to have them evicted. This intimate and provocative documentary examines a complex subculture, but at its heart is the universal search for family and acceptance. PRECEDED BY: ![]() Lost dir. Owen Eric Wood2007 / Canada / 5 min This short work emulates the visual and literal aesthetics of gay dating websites to raise questions regarding the status of the Internet as a liberating medium. |
