Matroos

Erotic fantasy of a boy who imagines the boy next-door as an attractive sailor in exotic climes. The maker plays a game with colourful and kitsch forms of homo-iconography and references to Pierre & Gilles, Jim Bigood, Kenneth Anger, Jean Genet and Fassbinder. To achieve the best possible manipulation of the images and above all the colours, Defurne chose a state-of-the-art digital camera.
