The Male Gaze: Risk Appeal

A stranger by the lake with a valuable possession, a man’s journey home after serving time in jail, and a friendship that matures from childhood to adulthood form the thread of this collection. It invites viewers to explore five perilous situations in which men and young boys take the plunge. The five short films are: A King, Gazing at the Sea [Le roi qui contemplait la mer] (2022); A Drowning Man (2017); Reo (2016); Summer Friends [L'amie de l'été] (2021); Summer Memories [Souvenir d'une après-midi d'été] (2021).
