The Male Gaze: Heavenly Creatures 2025

Directed by Rémi Giordano, Stéphane Olijnyk, Alejandro Mathé, Axel Wursten

108 min

A quartet of international gay short films, the latest in its popular The Male Gaze collection. These films explore faith and passion. Forgive them, father, for these boys have sinned. Witness how the power of God works in mysterious ways, from sexual tension high up in the Spanish mountains to the castles of medieval France and the gossip-filled side streets of Abidjan in West Africa. Religion can be a man’s prison, but sometimes it can set him free.
