The Pass

Directed by Pepi Ginsberg

On holiday, Ben rejects advances from a man named Sam to visit a private beach called The Pass. There, he meets Christopher, whose repressed desires lead to aggression, leaving Ben fearful as he tries to navigate the situation.
The Pass is a quietly unnerving gay short film about a man whose solitary trip to a beach becomes charged with attraction, uncertainty and potential danger. Pepi Ginsberg uses silence and awkward conversation with remarkable precision, allowing the encounter to remain ambiguous while steadily tightening the emotional pressure. Its restraint makes the underlying fear feel especially real.
