All Boys

All Boys widescreen edition

In the wake of cultural events like the Velvet Revolution and the fall of the Berlin wall came the rise of a new-found adult film industry in Eastern Europe. Since then Czech actors in gay erotica and sites like Bel Ami have risen to iconic status. Markku Heikkinen's revelatory documentary All Boys shows us both sides of this nascent industry, which can be interpreted as either a sign of sexual liberation or as the exploitation of disenfranchised young men.
