Got 2B There
Documentary examining Circuit Parties, from their beginnings to the current furor which surrounds them including footage of parties and interviews with a who’s who of A-list gays.
Are circuit parties merely hedonistic extravaganzas glamorizing body worship, rampant drug use, and unsafe sex? Or are they gatherings of the tribe, providing an empowering sense of community and essential fund-raising support for AIDS service organizations? These questions are at the heart of the controversy surrounding this annual series of nearly a hundred dances in more than a dozen cities worldwide. By filming the parties and interviewing organizers, attendees, and event beneficiaries, director Jose Torrealba conveys a sense of why these events are so popular. Juxtaposed with these elements are insightful interviews with such figures as Village Voice editor Richard Goldstein and columnist Michelangelo Signorile, whose book Life Outside did much to bring the controversy to a national level.
