Goodbye Seventies

2020 · 92 min

A wistful, intimate chronicle of creative ambition and community slowly eroded by loss, watching like a faded memory of a vanished scene.

Overview: In the 1970s, the golden age of gay pornography in New York City, a promising chorus boy is injured and told he will never dance again. Distraught and unimpressed with the "art" films playing seedy Times Square theaters, he gets his friends and lovers together and they start making their own hardcore movies. Against all odds the films are wildly successful until drugs, AIDS and cheap video technology bring it all crashing down
How it feels: Melancholic, dark, earnest and bleak. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Identity, art, sexuality, isolation
Content: Strong sexual content and language. Mild violence. No gore.
