dik

Directed by Christopher Stollery

A concerned father of a six year old takes it the wrong way.

A six-year-old writes something at school and his parents immediately spiral into a full-blown crisis about sexuality - the setup of dik is wonderfully simple and the escalation is anything but. Christopher Stollery’s gay short film races through hypocrisy, bisexual panic and marital confession without losing its deadpan rhythm. Ten minutes is all it needs to expose how absurd adults become when they start demanding fixed labels.
