If you live in the US and really don’t like your postman or woman very much, you can enter a competition to win $1,000 worth of gay movies on DVD (or lesbian movies for the girls). It’s being run by gay film distributor Wolfe Releasing to celebrate 25 years in the business and they’re doing draws every month this year, so if you miss out this time, you’ve got a few more chances.

Wolfe Releasing started life as a tiny mail order business providing bookstores with gay themed videos to rent out (this was before Blockbuster existed) and just kept growing. Their contribution to gay film is being celebrated at this month’s Outfest L.A. Film Festival (starting today) with screenings of some of their current gay movies including Undertow, Plan B and Elena Undone.

Undertow – a ghostly gay love affair between a married fisherman and a painter – forms the International Centrepiece screening at Outfest, while inter-sex high school comedy Spork is the closing night film.

You can read all about the festival’s screenings and events in their online guide – takes a bit of getting used to, but loads of info.
