Exploring Allen Ginsberg’s Howl: A Cinematic Journey

From Academy Award-winning documentarians Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman, filmmakers behind celebrated queer classics like The Celluloid Closet and The Times of Harvey Milk, the 2010 docudrama Howl bends genres to depict the story behind the literary revolution that was Allen Ginsberg’s “Howl.”

James Franco stars as a young Ginsberg on the precipice of making waves with his incendiary, culture-shifting poem.

The film takes us to a famous reading of “Howl” at the Six Gallery, a recreation of an unpublished interview allegedly given to Time in 1957 and the poem’s infamous obscenity trial.

We’re also witness to the beginnings of Ginsberg’s relationship with lover, Peter Orlovsky, played by “Gossip Girl” alum Aaron Tveit. Featuring an impressive supporting cast – including David Strathairn, Jon Hamm, Jeff Daniels, Treat Williams and Mary-Louise Parker – Howl offers up a fascinating and idiosyncratic portrait of an epic literary work and its iconoclastic creator.

Watch the trailer for Howl below. The film is now streaming on Dekkoo.

That’s what this Dekkoo Select is all about.

From emotional coming-of-age stories to sexy romantic dramas and comforting relationship comedies, this collection highlights films and series where queer characters are allowed to dream bigger, love openly, and move toward happiness.

And that’s exactly what this Dekkoo Select celebrates.

Exploring LGBTQ+ Life in Singapore: People Like Us Season 3

Following the lives of four gay men, People Like Us, a short-form series from creator Leon Cheo, offers up a poignant reflection and insightful look at being gay in modern-day Singapore. The characters drift into one another’s worlds – and beds – as they navigate love, lust and life in the big city.

Picking back up with our central group, Season Three finds Joel (Josh Crowe) dealing with grief, struggling with the dating scene and binge-eating his feelings. Meanwhile, Ridzwan (Ifran Kasban) distracts himself with work and sex as Isaac (Steven Lim) falls deeper into his substance addiction. Finally, post-‘honeymoon phase,’ Rai (Hemant Ashoka) and Haniff (Syaheeran Othman) are facing new and unexpected challenges as a serodiscordant couple, one being HIV+ and one HIV-.

In addition to the sexual escapades and relationships that unfold between these characters, People Like Us explores themes of acceptance, community support, the challenges of dating, substance abuse and HIV awareness in the local LGBTQ+ community.

Exploring Sexuality in the Digital Age: My Sweet Prince

In a smoke-filled basement, lit only by the flicker of a screen and the occasional orange glow of a spliff, a teen boy named Tommy (Yoni Roodner) sits detached from his friends, paralyzed by the fear of his own sexuality.

Afraid of the intense attraction he feels towards his male friends, he chooses to forgo physical company and instead seeks out anonymized friendships online, carefully muffling the dial-up sound of the router for midnight chat sessions with his pen pal and confidant on MSN Messenger.

Set during the early days of the internet, My Sweet Prince, a clever short written and directed by London-based filmmaker Jason Bradbury, uses segments from the filmmaker’s own teenage VHS diaries, shot during childhood summers at his home on the Isle of Wight. This footage is spliced together alongside the fictional story of Tommy, a young boy wrestling with doubt and uncertainty while finding solace in the virtual company of his online crush.

Looking back at at a very particular moment in time, My Sweet Prince subtly examines how the internet’s arrival catalyzed an unprecedented set of formative experiences for a guinea pig generation of youngsters.

Watch the trailer for My Sweet Prince below. The short film is now streaming on Dekkoo.

Tethered Wings Brings a Powerful Story of First Love and Second Chances to Dekkoo

Scene from the Dekkoo exclusive film Tethered Wings

Some love stories never truly let go. That’s the emotional heartbeat behind Tethered Wings on Dekkoo, the newest addition to Dekkoo Originals & Exclusives — a deeply moving French drama about memory, regret, and the lasting power of first love.

Set across two timelines, Tethered Wings follows Paul, a man preparing for his wedding when he is suddenly confronted by Joseph, the boy he once loved and lost decades earlier. Their unexpected reunion reopens emotional wounds tied to a transformative summer in 1983 — a summer marked by passion, longing, and devastating homophobia that permanently altered the course of both their lives.

Directed by Thierry Binisti, Tethered Wings (originally titled Les Ailes Collées) blends tender romance with emotional suspense, gradually revealing the painful truth behind Paul and Joseph’s separation. The film explores how queer love can shape an entire lifetime — even when buried beneath decades of silence.

Fans of emotionally rich LGBTQ+ dramas like Weekend, Free Fall, and The Bubble will find a lot to love here. The chemistry between the younger and older versions of Paul and Joseph gives the film a haunting emotional continuity, while its themes of forbidden love, identity, and lost time feel painfully universal.

What makes Tethered Wings especially compelling is the way it balances intimacy with emotional tension. The film isn’t simply about rekindled romance — it’s about confronting the life you built after abandoning the life you truly wanted. Through flashbacks and present-day reckonings, Tethered Wings becomes a story about survival, forgiveness, and whether love can still endure after years of repression and fear.

The arrival of Tethered Wings continues Dekkoo’s commitment to bringing acclaimed international LGBTQ+ cinema to audiences looking for bold, emotional, and authentically queer storytelling. Alongside recent exclusives like Night Stage and beloved titles across the platform’s growing collection of gay movies and series, the film adds another unforgettable story to Dekkoo’s curated lineup.

Whether you’re drawn to sweeping queer romance, emotionally layered coming-of-age stories, or powerful international dramas, Tethered Wings is one you won’t want to miss.

Watch Tethered Wings now exclusively on Dekkoo.

Dark Comedy: Stimulants and Empathogens Review

An award-winning dark comedy from Poland, Stimulants and Empathogens follows Antek (Michal Murawski), a closeted gay teen from a wealthy family.

At the start of the film, Antek is harboring a hopeless crush on Kuba (Gracjan Kosyl), a fellow teen who just happens to be a drug dealer.

Looking to get closer, Antek invites Kuba to his family’s villa under the pretext of another deal. What he doesn’t know, however, is that Kuba is on a mission, ordered by his superiors in the drug trade, his father and brother. They suspect that Antek may be reselling their product at a profit.

What begins as a romantic comedy of errors soon turns into a social satire rollercoaster of clashing cultures.

Watch the trailer for Stimulants and Empathogens below. The short film is now streaming on Dekkoo.

Dekkoo Selects: 90’s Nostalgia

Dekkoo Selects 90s Nostalgia queer film collection

Revisit the Queer Indie Spirit of the 1990s

Before streaming. Before algorithms. Before LGBTQ+ stories found mainstream visibility, queer filmmakers were creating bold, intimate, rebellious cinema that changed everything.

This month’s Dekkoo Selects dives into the raw emotion, underground energy, and unforgettable storytelling of queer cinema inspired by the spirit of the 1990s. These films capture a time when independent LGBTQ+ filmmaking was fearless, personal, romantic, political, and unapologetically human.

From underground dramas to emotional romances, these films helped define modern gay movies for an entire generation.

Featured Films in Our 90’s Nostalgia Collection

Why We Love 90’s Queer Cinema

The 1990s marked a turning point for LGBTQ+ storytelling. Filmmakers pushed boundaries, challenged expectations, and created stories that reflected real queer lives — often with limited budgets but unlimited passion.

These films weren’t polished studio productions. They were personal. Urgent. Experimental. Romantic. Messy. Real.

That spirit continues to influence queer filmmaking today, and this Dekkoo Selects collection is our way of celebrating the stories and artists who helped pave the way.

Fans of intimate queer storytelling can also explore our collection of gay romance movies on Dekkoo.

Stream the Collection on Dekkoo

Whether you’re revisiting these films or discovering them for the first time, our 90’s Nostalgia collection is a journey back to one of the most important eras in queer cinema.

A Big Gay Hairy Hit: Celebrating Bears in Hollywood

A hilarious and deeply touching documentary feature, A Big Gay Hairy Hit (also known as Where the Bears Are: The Documentary) tells the story of how three older gay ‘bears,’ working in Hollywood and tired of having their gay-themed ideas rejected by the mainstream, decided to self-produce their own independent web series.

Blending “The Golden Girls” with “Murder She Wrote,” the comedy series they created centers around three bear roommates who solve crimes.

Against all odds, Where the Bears Are became a sensation with gay audiences, running for seven seasons while becoming one of the most successful scripted web series of all time.

Featuring lead actors and creators Rick Copp, Joe Dietl, and Ben Zook, this retrospective documentary examines ageism, body-shaming, sex-positivity, the creative process and how friendship can deliver a finished product that is beloved all over the world.
