Note: Both films contain graphic scenes of BDSM and violent sexual imagery.
Those who caught William E. Jones' v.o. last year at the Pacific Film Archive might recognize particular streets, warehouses, and knowing glances in Fred Halsted's gay-porn masterpieces of the '70s. Jones' film strips the sex from certain classic gay flicks — Halsted's being the most notable — and leaves only their gritty urban landscapes and hungry eyes. Tonight, the Revival House screens this source material in all its original hardcore glory. LA Plays Itself and its companion film, Sex Garage, redefined gay sex on the screen, with their ecumenical attitude towards BDSM, unconventional body types, and bisexuality. These reminders of a bygone era are a bracing antidote to the sterility of most niche-marketed contemporary gay porn.
