Sacraments

Watch an explicit trailer of Sacraments

As gay men, we don’t have sex in order to procreate. By our very natures, our sex is a testament to something beyond the desire to have children. It is a part of who we are as a culture. Our sex asks us to peer deeply into society’s injunctions against pleasure, the body, and lust. As a queer culture, we get to redefine how we experience our bodies and our own bodily fluids.

The perspective highlighted in this film is the reinvention of sex through gay eyes, the fluids as an assortment of enjoyable aspects that heighten and expand our abilities to connect sexually beyond penetration--and most importantly, the meanings imbued in these various “subversive” acts.

Sacraments is part of a larger body of work called The Sacred Whore: an invitation to descend into our personal and collective shadows. It is an exploration of gay shadow and light, themes that connect us as a gay tribe to our most impassioned thrills as well as our aching sorrows.
