The Male Gaze: Strikers & Defenders

A compilation film by NQV Media

Exploring how rivalry between teams can spill over into teacher-pupil relationships, high school crushes and brotherly compassion.
The Male Gaze: Strikers & Defenders brings together gay shorts shaped by sport, masculinity and the tensions between competition and desire. The anthology is most interesting when familiar macho environments become spaces where emotional vulnerability unexpectedly surfaces.
