Originally presented at Somerset Dwelling as part of the UTOPIA season and shot over a period of nine months, the production documents over gay bars across 14 cities.
The production captures the bars when empty, distilling each venue’s interior character and individuality. Made in response to the rapid closures of LGBTQ venues, the Directory captures a moment of change in queer history but also examines the broader consequences of more than a decade of austerity: the loss of public space and the dismantling of the mention infrastructure.
We'll be streaming the film at every evening for a week, across Twitch and Twitter.

A Leathery Mood: On Jeremy Atherton Lin’s Gay Bar
With limited exceptions, the queer spaces I have visited over the years vary wildly, but there is a slippery quality that unites my experiences in them: the warm bath of alterity. The queer DJ and writer madison moore describes clubs as ‘portals’, for their ability to aid us imagine a different way of doing things, to evade the capitalist and heteronormative logic of the ‘real world’. Through the gay bar as portal, we might enter places where we can be the majority not the minority, places where fantasy and debauchery are made possible, where identity and craving are heightened.
Jeremy Atherton Lin’s GAY BAR: WHY WE WENT OUT () is a declaration of the author’s love of gay bars. It is, as far as I can tell, one of the only attempts at a cultural history of the queer bar, be it a cultural history that is sexier and messier, because Lin does not shy away from the visceral qualities of gay bars. He does not evade the smells and the dirt and the fluids as a comparatively fusty historian might (see, say, Pe
