Go West A queer male couple in Sarajevo, Kenan, a Bosnian, and Milan, a Serb, intend to emigrate to the gay-friendly Netherlands, but the war strands them in Serb-controlled territory, and Kenan adopts female drag to escape being found out as a circumcised Muslim. The pair escape to Milan's village, where the disguise is maintained through a traditional wedding. These two men barely touch onscreen, though Kenan, who is multi-attracted , is shown having sex at least twice with Ranka, the village prostitute. Ranka eventually outs the gay men to Milan's father, while Milan is drafted into the Serbian army and killed. Though firmly anti-Serb and anti-war, the film reads as ultimately misogynistic. The sole girl among the leads is the produce of all struggle, while Milan's father and best confidant accept his lgbtq+ affair with equanimity. Official Go West Website |

It still has &#; I&#;ve watched it twice now, and am so totally snaffled by this thing I haven&#;t been proficient to stop thinking about it. Literally. Also over the course of the last week, thanks to my exploration of SFN and other lesbian-themed projects, I&#;ve been spotting movement on my Twitter feed from a number of people who support the lgbtq+ filmmaking community &#; I disclose it, as a straight guy I don&#;t have that much direct exposure to the experiences of being gay, nor did I even know there is an entire subculture &#; a culture rapidly working its way into the mainstream, I reflect &#; for the gay and lesbian community to produce, celestial body in, and monetise, video content aimed solely at that market.
