Filmmaker Malcolm Ingram is known for giving us a different look at the gay scene with Small Town Gay Bar and Bear Nation. Now, he will give a look into the well-known and infamous Continental Baths in his latest, CONTINENTAL.
Here's the official synopsis:
“Malcolm Ingram's lively new documentary CONTINENTAL takes viewers back in time to the sexually charged New York of 1968, when the notorious Continental Baths opened its doors. This groundbreaking den of debauchery (advertised as a place “for sophisticated men only”) came to transcend sexual identity and became a cultural beacon to the hip, beautiful and infamous. Not only host to newly-empowered gay men of all shapes and sizes, eager to take full advantage of their sexual freedoms at a lavish venue, the Continental brought both high and low culture to the bathhouse's stage week after week, becoming instrumental in the careers of ‘60s and ‘70s icons like Bette Midler, Barry Manilow, Patti LaBelle, Peter Allen and countless others.I've enjoyed his other docs, so I'm sure this will deliver.
