Wh BFI Flare: London LGBTQ+ Film Ftival upon , we ntue our celebratn of queer cema wh a look at some of the bt lbian, gay and trans films om Sndavia and the Nordic untri. Four were among the first natns to legalise gay marriage (Fland took a ltle longer, fally jog the club 2017), and Iceland beme the first untry to have an openly gay head of ernment (Jóhanna Sigurðardóttir, 2009).
Swedish melodrama The Wgs (1916), more than half of which has been sadly lost, is one of the first films to feature a gay storyle. Bergman’s pictn of female homosexualy was seldom flatterg – see the predatory lbian Three Strange Lov (1949) or the possible readg of lbianism lkg to mental illns Persona (1966). The lite melancholy of the film, and s bleak pictn of a sad, possibly gay girl, make for a disquietg if rewardg viewg experience.

Daddy and the Mcle Amy (1991)The erotic gay drawgs of Too Laaksonen, better known as Tom of Fland, are one of the Sndavian pensula’s most famo queer exports, and this documentary, the only film to feature the man himself, is a handy entry to his work and reer. While the terviews wh New York leather daddi and S&M enthiasts show his fluence on gay inty, ’s the revealg ments of the artist himself that are the ma reason for watchg.

Although the film do not shy away om the ugls of homophobic and transphobic society, the relatnship self is betifully leated, and featur a very touchg sex scene. A Moment the Reeds (2017)Leevi (Janne Puten), a young, gay Fnish man, meets Tareq (Boodi Kabbani), a Syrian immigrant worker employed to rtore the former’s fay lake hoe. Now as a gay male I was wonrg how LGBT acceptance is Fland, if there’s anythg I should take to acunt when makg the cisn, et cetera.
