This screening is in memory of Geoff Hardy, founder of the Shropshire Rainbow Film Festival.
In this highly acclaimed documentary, experience the untold story of America’s first gay disco, a kaleidoscopic excursion into LGBTQ+ history through the lens of the groundbreaking club.
From 1974 to 1994, Studio One and its adjoining live music venue, The Backlot, became symbols of hope and community for gay men during tumultuous times.
Through personal accounts, the documentary delves into Studio One’s story against the backdrop of a progressing gay liberation clashing with 80s conservatism and the escalating AIDS nightmare. It’s a testament to an era, immortalising the club’s legacy for future generations.
