We hope you have enjoyed a fab PRIDE weekend!

Each year we celebrate and commemorate the participants and events around the STONEWALL riots, that uprising in New York in 1969 is the foundation for Pride marches and celebrations the world over. But very few of us are aware of "The Mattachine Society", one of America's earliest LGBTQ+ organisations that predates the events of Stonewall by some 19 years.

The Mattachine Society, founded in 1950s Los Angeles by Harry Hay and a small group of gay men, was one of America's first gay rights organisations. Named after medieval French secret societies of unmarried men, it initially operated as a clandestine group with a cell-like structure to protect its members. Their meetings took at at Harry's home which was located near a set of steps at Cove Avenue and Silver Lake Boulevard in Silver Lake LA.

These steps became lovingly known locally as "The Mattachine Steps" and in 2012 they were given that official designation as a historic cultural monument by the City of Los Angeles to recognise the site's importance in LGBTQ+ history, particularly as the location where early meetings of the Mattachine Society occurred.

And around The Mattachine Steps is were our story of our latest release takes place...

A little bit of Ancient History for you now...

Khnumhotep and Niankhkhnum were ancient royal servants who shared the title “Overseer of the Manicurists in the Palace of King Niuserre.” The two men are depicted on their joint tomb in one of the most intimate poses allowed by Egyptian artistic conventions: face to face, with their noses touching. Niankhkhnum means “joined to life” and Khnumhotep means “joined to the blessed state of the dead;” together their names mean “joined in life and death.

BOYS ON FILM 24: HAPPY ENDINGS. Sea Sparkles 🇺🇾
Starring: Alejandro Mata Molina, Enzo Mogrincic. Director: Diego Alvarez Parra.
As Lucas prepares to leave Uruguay for good, he invites Venezuelan immigrant Juan over for a hook-up. This encounter becomes a meditation on expectations, world views and our own versions of reality, but though there is chemistry between the pair, they couldn’t be more different. And it’s this contrast that serves as a touch paper for igniting Lucas’ introspection. A film about personal truths that could only happen at the dead of night, this is a compelling and contemplative short.
