Ask Any Buddy

Compiled by film historian Elizabeth Purcell, fragments from over 100 all-male hardcore films spanning the years 1968-1986 create a snapshot of urban gay life in the era — or at least how it looked in the movies. From casual tearoom cruising to actual police raids, Ask Any Buddy uses rare, explicit footage shot at dozens of real bathhouses, bars, movie theaters, pride parades and legendary hotspots like New York’s Hudson Piers to explore both the sex film genre’s unique blend of fantasy and reality, and its role in documenting a subculture that was just starting to come into visibility.
Directed by Elizabeth Purchell, 2019, USA, 78 minutes.
