Hello, this is Dom…

From Kaleidoscope Home Entertainment, the documentary, Studio One Forever, will have a cinema release on 18th October. Here’s what they had to say:

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. Amidst the rise of gay rights, disco’s heyday, and the devastating AIDS crisis, the club offered sanctuary from rampant homophobia and police oppression. 26 years later, West Hollywood faces the demolition of this iconic building, sending the community into uproar to preserve its history. 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.

This remarkable celebrity-packed documentary features interviews with Chita Rivera, Bruce Vilanch, Sam Harris, Felipe Rose, Charlo Crossley, Melissa Rivers, Roslyn Kind, Lance Bass, Thelma Houston, Julie Budd and many more, accompanied with narration by Bruce Vilanch and David Del Valle. Plus, music by Donna Summer, Sylvester, Thelma Houston, Village People and Bronski Beat.

Studio One Forever has received critical acclaim at the Austin Film Festival (Jury Award Nominee – Best Documentary Feature), BFI Flare London LGBTQIA+ Film Festival (Official Selection), and Palm Springs International Film Festival (Best of Fest – Audience Favourites).
