Abstract. This study looks at how sex, love, and gender are portrayed in

Southeast Asian boys-love (BL)-themed short films. In the popular Japanese

subgenre known as "boys love," male characters are explored in their

romantic and frequently sexual interactions. But Southeast Asia, where the

genre has a devoted following, has seen a substantial increase in its appeal.

Understanding how sex, love, and gender are portrayed within this cultural

framework is the main goal of this study. To evaluate a variety of Southeast

Asian boys who enjoy short films, the research draws on a multimodal

analysis which conforms multidisciplinary model of analysis. Departing

from queer studies and postcolonial performativity, this study employs

careful analysis on the issues of sex, love, and gender between young men

in different contexts of region such as Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines,

Cambodia, and Vietnam. The results of this study add to the body of

knowledge on boys' love and shed light on the distinctive cultural

characteristics of Southeast Asian countries. This research offers insight into

the negotiating of cultural norms and expectations within the setting of

romantic and sexual interactions by looking at how sex, love, and gender are

represented in these short films. The study also looks at how these films

could contradict or support regional gender norms and conventional roles.

In the end, this study seeks to deepen a comprehension of the relationship

between sex, love, and gender in Southeast Asian boys' short movies and its

possible ramifications for more general understanding on Sustainable

Development Goals (SDGs).
