This film is not currently available to watch online. It may be awaiting release or may no longer be available on any known streaming service.

Sailor is a visually stylised short film that shows Bavo Defurne’s fascination with longing, idealised male beauty and romantic fantasy. The artificial sets and effects are conspicuous, but they also contribute to its dreamlike quality, giving the film an unabashedly homoerotic personality all its own.
