We’ve rounded up 10 gay films from this year that deserve your attention over the break.
Twinless
Twinless arrived at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival and promptly won the Audience Award. Loving is available in five languages: French, English, Italian, German and Spanish.
Nini and Treadwell hope that the new exhibition—and shows like it in the future—will continue to spread the message that “love is love,” as Treadwell tells the Art Newspaper’s Karen Chernick.
“Love has been around forever,” he adds.
“Loving” is on view at the Musée Rath in Geneva, Switzerland, through September 24.

Tom Blyth plays Lucas, an undercover police officer in 1997 Syracuse assigned to entrap gay men.From Sundance award winners to big-budget musical adaptations, there’s something for everyone. The identities of the photographers and subjects connected to most of the images are a mystery.
“The pictures adopt the same staging as for heterosexual couples: couples pose at the bow of a ship, on the branch of a tree, at the beach, in the forest and in bed, and they sometimes also simulate a wedding stance,” per a statement from the Musee d’Art et d’Histoire.
It’s available to rent or stream on Amazon Video, Apple TV and Fandango At Home.
The Wedding Banquet
Andrew Ahn, the director behind Fire Island, returns with The Wedding Banquet, a remake of Ang Lee’s 1993 classic.
“They couldn’t do it when they were alive, but they can do it now, and I think that’s really powerful.”
Nini and Treadwell, who have been together for more than 30 years, stumbled upon the first photograph in their collection at an antique shop in Dallas, Texas. Director Mathias Broe mines class and gender politics while serving sun-bleached visuals and tender chemistry that broke ground at Sundance earlier this year.
