The 69th BFI London Film Festival starts on Wednesday Oct. 8th. As is always the case, there are quite a few LGBT+ themed films that must sees, ones that might never be released in cinemas, so the film festival is a good place to catch them. Here are some highlights:

The History of Sound
Lionel (Paul Mescal) and David (Josh O’Connor) (above) meet at Boston Conservatory, where they bond over their love of American folk music. Years later, after David serves in the First World War, the pair reunite and travel across the U.S. to record their beloved music. It’s a journey that irrevocably changes their lives.This film is much anticipated.

Christy
Setting the boxing world alight as a teen, Christy Martin (Sydney Sweeney) found fame, fortune and iconic status as the most successful female boxer of the 1990s. But outside the ring, she was grappling with her s*xuality in the midst of her abusive relationship with her husband and trainer (Ben Foster).

Maspalomas
Vicente (José Ramón Soroiz) is 76 and living it up in Gran Canaria (LGBT+ gay destination place) after breaking up with the man he left his wife and daughter for. But after suffering a stroke, he finds himself in a care home, repressing his s*xuality and faced with his shortcomings as a parent and person.

She’s the He
It’s the final week of school and besties Alex (Nico Carney) and Ethan (Misa Osherovich) have come up with a plan to convince people that they’re not gay – pretending to come out as trans. As they commit to this hare-brained scheme, Ethan starts to realise that it might not be pretend after all. Directed and written by Siobhan McCarthy.

Twinless
After Roman’s (Dylan O’Brien) identical twin brother dies, he finds solace in a support group for bereaved twins. He meets Dennis, who is everything Roman is not – confident, gay and successfully processing his grief. A friendship quickly forms, but it soon becomes clear Dennis is keeping a secret.

F*cktoys
Sexworker AP (Annapurna Sriram) is freaking out. Psychics have predicted she has been cursed, and the only way out is to deliver one thousand dollars and slaughter a lamb. As she rides the streets of Trashtown, encountering violence, s*x and love, the spirit of John Waters never feels far away. But here, we’re treated to a staunchly female gaze. Camp, trashy, distasteful and thoroughly enjoyable, this is a cult classic in the making.

Enzo
A French coming of age film, Enzo (Eloy Pohu), a teenager from a wealthy family, dodges his class expectations by dropping out of school and apprenticing as a builder. Feeling out of place in the family’s elegant villa and disconnected from his peers, Enzo finds himself attracted to fellow builder Vlad, who is from Ukraine. Directed by Robin Campillo.

The Son and the Sea
A tender coming-of-age drama chronicling the lives of three very different young men, Stroma Cairns’ film is about an exploration of how loss, vulnerability and disability forge potent connections. Set in London and Northern Scotland, The Son and The Sea explores the intimacy between these men.

Peter Hujar’s Diary
This film, eagerly, awaiting, is the recreation of a conversation between American writer Linda Rosenkrantz (Rebecca Hall) and acclaimed gay photographer Peter Hujar (Ben Whishaw) in his New York apartment. Hujar recounts the previous 24 hours of his life, creating a snapshot of one of the most influential artists of the 1970s and 80s downtown New York art scene. Directed and written by Ira Sachs.

The Stranger
Meursault (Benjamin Voisin) learns about his mother’s passing. What follows is a series of events leading to a tragedy that questions the intentions and moral standing of the protagonist. Directed and written by LGBT+ favorite Francois Ozon.

100 Nights of Hero
Once upon a time in a fairytale kingdom, Cherry (Maika Monroe) is happily married to Jerome and living an idyllic life. But the couple have yet to conceive an heir. When Jerome absconds and his dashing friend Manfred arrives with dastardly intentions, Cherry’s troubles look set to worsen. But Hero (Emma Corrin), Cherry’s wily and loyal maid, who won’t let anything happen to her beloved mistress, and concocts a plan. Also with Nicholas Galitzine, Richard E. Grant and Felicity Jones.

Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery
Ex James Bond heartthrob Daniel Craig plays gay detective Benoit Blanc in the third film in the Knives Out trilogy. Now Benoit Blanc faces his toughest challenge yet – investigating a priest and a mysterious death as his church. Also with favorites Andrew Scott, Glenn Close, Mila Kunis, Josh O’Connor, among others.

Pillion
Colin (Harry Melling) is a quiet, unassuming man with supportive parents whose world is rocked when he enters a dom-sub relationship with towering, attractive biker Ray (Alexander Skarsgård). Navigating his new role, he learns about its pleasures and pains, including those that come with love, and in the process understanding his own boundaries. The trailer and poster has the g**s panting (look it up, it’s on Youtube). Directed and written by Harry Lighton.

Happy Ending

It’s a happy ending for everyone at the show also titled 'Happy Ending.'

A very witty and clever script, solid acting from its two leads, and at 80 minutes a quip snip of a show which is a lot of fun and very s*xy. Mr. Millar (Billy Walker) is a macho married straight MAGA supporter of a man who wants a massage from gay masseur Andrew (Jimmy Ess*x). Mr. Millar is a bit uncomfortable in the beginning of the massage but he slowly loosens up while Andrew holds steady attempting to be as professional as possible even though he has a hot naked man on his massage table that he really really fancies. The plot starts to become hot and heavy leaving the audience (99% gay men) panting, but a plot twist that comes from nowhere surprises us and the story takes a turn no one saw coming!

Written and directed by Ronnie Larsen, who has brought us gay gems such as ‘F**cking Men’ and ‘Making P**n,' ‘Happy Ending,’ produced by Adam Roebuck, is a completely hilarious and s*xy romp that is intimately performed in the small Waterloo East theatre. A must see!

The Shadow in the Mirror

Another wonderful evening was had at The Mill at Sonning where you get a meal and a show for one price.

Currently playing is ’The Shadow in the Mirror’ - a show that is part whodunit, part mystery, and a ghost story as well - where a bookseller is commissioned to catalogue the library of a deceased French Marquis. But even before the scares start there is a delicious meal to be had in the beautiful restaurant, which adjoins the theatre.
It is a delicious menu with an excellent variety of options - Steak pie with mash and vegetables; Baked salmon filet, and Coq au vin (which is what I had and it was extremely delicious, tender and delicate, with just the right amount of gravy and served with pomme puree & French beans). For the vegetarians there is Roasted vegetable & stilton tart and Keema & potato pie with vegetables. Dessert is also served after the meal and I had the wonderful sticky toffee pudding served with caramel sauce and ice cream. Other choices include vanilla panna cotta, chocolate mousse, and a cheese plate. All served with coffee or tea.

’The Shadow in the Mirror’ is set in 1901 Marseilles, France. Nick Waring is Peter Letting, the bookseller, with not a penny to his name, who is approached by Gideon de Teildras (Gregg Lowe) to do the catalogueing for the French Marquis, who was extremely wealthy and recently passed. John the Jailer (George Dillon) is the narrator to the story and a constant companion to Letting. But once Letting is inside the house of the Marquis, all sorts of scary things start happening after he discovers an ancient hidden doorway in the remote chateau, and a strange mirror, what’s going on with the mirror? Is it all real or not real? And is Gideon who he says he is? Based on the short story ’The Entrance’ by Gerald Durrell, Director Dugald Bruce-Lockhart has deployed a bit of dramatic license from the original story, adding characters that are only alluded to in ’The Entrance’ in order to create this theatrical presentation. ’The Shadow in the Mirror’ is gripping, the atmosphere is scary, and the show has great lighting design and sound effects, and wonderfully co-exists in the Grade II listed building of the Sonning that is a bit creaky in some bits. The cast are fantastic in their roles, and I must say again how delicious the pre-theatre meal was. All in all an excellent night out.
