Birder

Directed by Nate Dushku

Birdwatcher Kristian Brooks disrupts a queer campground in New Hampshire, challenging notions of consent.
Birder is a deliberately provocative thriller that mixes cruising, voyeurism and predatory behaviour in an isolated natural setting. Nate Dushku creates an uneasy atmosphere, and while the film’s darkness will divide viewers, its willingness to push gay genre storytelling into uncomfortable territory is notable.
