Cathedral

Director:

Chase
Runtime:
10 min
Year:
1971

Cathedral was another film thought to have been lost for almost 50 years. Found in the spring of 2019, it has been restored in HD.

It is one of the earliest of the gay films after Stonewall, and one that refused to see touch, affection, and sensuality only in pornographic terms. The films final scenes use footage filmed in the St. Chapel, Paris, and connect the sensual with the spiritual. The patterns of movement and the inter-cutting align the film to dance.

Many thanks to Ronald Chase for providing this copy of the film.
