WIKI: "Produced in 1989, the film is presented in black and white combining authentic archival newsreel footage of Harlem in the 1920s with scripted scenes to produce a non-linear impressionistic story line celebrating black gay identity and desire during the artistic and cultural period known as the Harlem Renaissance in New York."

Irène/Alain Cavalier

ABOUT: "Small digital camera in hand, Cavalier dives into the memories he set down in his diaries from the early 1970s, in search of the essence of Irène, the love of his life, who was killed in a car crash…
"She's at the door," Alain Cavalier confesses. "For years, I’ve heard her, knocking gently. Why has it taken me so long to open the door to her? Am I afraid of the claims she might make? Afraid of some kind of confession? Am I unwilling to shine a light into the dark corners? One thing I know: she stands there, alive, stands before me, steers my hand. I am trying to go beyond where we left off – only yesterday.."

ABOUT: "Canadian filmmaker and actor Johnny Terris started out doing short films in the late 80’s and early 90’s in Canada. Starting at the age of 14 and leaving home at 16 years of age his films viciously delved into trailer park comedy that centered on a comedic annihilation of family values and structure.
In 2005, he released Sordid; a grotesque experimental horror journey through death and rebirth which sold out the first 200 copies within a 24 hour period."
