Gerontophiliacs unite! Preview clip of BLAB’s latest oeuvre

It’s summer time, which means that film festival season is coming soon to Canada.

Canada’s relunctant pornographer, Bruce LaBruce, has been teasing his fans with occasional photos from his latest production, Geronotophilia, since January. It was recently announced that the film would play the Toronto International Film Festival.

The film stars Pier-Gabriel Lajoie alongside veteran Halifax thespian Walter Borden, and deals with what the press materials call a “subversively tender tale of the intimate bond between a teenage nursing home attendant and an octogenarian resident.”With the film soon to be playing at TIFF, the film festival was kind enough to give the rest of us plebes a sneak peek at this Harold & Maude-esque film with a decidedly queer bent.
