NEW   A Historical Record for the year's production of
Gay and Lesbian Films, worldwide.

HOT CELLULOID!
Recent policies of the Bush Administration have been
horrible for Gay Rights, but catalytic for the Gay Arts.  
This guidebook will tell you why.













It includes:

  • Descriptions and reviews of 130 feature-length gay films and 72
    shorts, with commentary, special features, and hundreds of
    photos.

  • "What the critics said" about each film, replicated from published
    sources worldwide.

  • Special Features including the Blood Moon Awards and the
    year's winners for Best Film, Best Director, Best Actors, and the
    Runners-Up.

  • Photographic testimonials to HOLLYWOOD'S HOTTEST HUNKS

  • Fun, pithy, opinionated, informative!   This book and its annual
    updates will become standard fixtures at Film Festivals and Film
    Schools worldwide

  • In April, 2006, this book was supported and endorsed by the
    directors of the RHODE ISLAND FILM FESTIVAL.   In March of
    2005, an earlier edition of this guide was nominated as BOOK
    OF THE YEAR, 2005 by Foreword Magazine, a respected literary
    review that specializes in the output of independent presses.

"Authoritative, exhaustive, and essential,
Blood Moon's Guide to Gay and Lesbian
Film is the queer girl's and boy's one-stop
resource for what to add to their film
queue.  The film synopses and the snippets of
critic's reviews are reason enough to keep
this annual compendium of cinematic
information close to the DVD player.  But
the extras--including the Blood Moon
Awards and commentary on queer short
films--are butter on the popcorn."

Gentle Readers Note:  This is not the
first film guide Blood Moon has
produced!   For information about LAST
YEAR's guidebook, one that was
produced in cooperation with The
Glitter Awards, and which was
nominated for the coveted  BOOK OF
THE YEAR award by Foreword
Magazine,  click anywhere within this  
pink box.


Here, assembled into one comprehensive volume,
is a rundown of the year's most intriguing Gay, Lesbian, and
Transgendered films,
an illustrated guide that's Out, Outrageous, Provocative,
and Proud.  A defiant challenge
to films today, it gets sweaty with Gay Cowboys,
Gay Nazis, Nude Marines, Ballsy Detectives,
Hit Men, Porn Stars, and Women in Love...
With each other.  The Scent of Lavender,
the Smell of Testosterone,
and the Aroma of Velvet.  
IT'S ALL HERE!
From Blood Moon Productions:   TWO years' of annual
guidebooks, each documenting  the previous year's
crop of Gay and Lesbian-themed films.
Additional Special Features within this film guide include:

Alexander

Warhol / Morrissey Underground Films Re-Released
                 Sex Symbol Returns

Blood Moon's Triptych of Hollywood's Hottest Hunks
Blood Moon dedicates this book to the
filmmakers, actors, writers, distributors, and
publicists who made the films reviewed in this
book possible.  We've tried to describe each
film with as much clarity and respect as
possible.  We hope that this book will help
celebrate each of the included films and the
teams who built them.

With apologies to those whose names were
inadvertently omitted, and with regrets for
anything which we might have misinterpreted,
we salute the filmmakers noted within this
guide, and we wish them luck and strength in
the challenges and adversities ahead.
"I am prepared to believe that the sense of
romance in those of our brothers and
sisters who incline towards love of their
own sex is heightened to a more blazing
pitch than in those who think of
themselves as normal."

                      Lord Laurence Olivier
"The Sorry State of American Gay
Cinema has for too long been a source
of frustration for many in our
community....So it is refreshing and
exciting that Gay Cinema seems to
finally be improving."

                    Herb Krohn
"I won't be directed by a fairy!"  I have
to work with a real man!"


                    Clark Gable, snarling       
                     about his                           
                     then-director, George       
                     Cukor, on the set of           
                     Gone With the Wind.
"Most of our pictures have little, if any,
read substance.  Our fear of what the
censors will do keeps us from portraying
life the way it really is.  We wind up with a
lot of empty fairy tales that do not have
much relation to anyone."

                       Samuel Goldwyn,  1938
"All my life, I've spent time with gay men.  
Montgomery Clift, Jimmy Dean, Rock
Hudson.  There is no gay agenda.  It's a
human agenda."


                            Elizabeth Taylor
"The Celluloid Closet is a profound account
of how the movies have consciously and
consistently denigrated homosexuals.  
Written by Vito Russo, it's militant and
marvellous, and must be read by anyone
who goes to the movies, and that's just
about everyone."


                                Arthur Bell
"That dykey bitch"

                               Margaret Sullavan,
                               talking about
                              Katharine Hepburn
Short, low-budget gay and lesbian films need recognition too.  
Here's Blood Moon's take on a crop of recent shorties, many of
which run for less than 30 minutes each.
"Sometimes, it's a good idea to keep your shorts on."

                                Advice from the editors at Blood Moon
From the preface to Blood Moon's
Triptych of Hollywood's Hottest Hunks
(beginning on page 387 of the Guide to Gay & Lesbian Film)

"For their courage, humanity, and brilliance in their portrayal of
gay and gay-sensitive roles, and with recognition for how
influential each of them has been in changing mainstream
perceptions about gay people, we extend sincere thanks to the
three actors (Colin, Jake, and Heath) celebrated in the final
pages of this guidebook.  Then, we'll go on to say,
VA-VA-VA-VOOM!!!"

"Blood Moon's Guide to Gay and Lesbian Film is like
having access to a feverishly compiled queer film fan's
private scrapbook.  This first edition gives a snapshot
of where we are in Hollywood now, which should be
updated with each further annual edition.  It's a lot of
fun and, like screen representations of us, verges
wildly between titillation and tribulation.  
Now.. I'm ready for my closeup..."
