LLGFF: Nighthawks

Recently restored by the BFI and 30 years since its first UK release, this pioneering film was the first British feature which dealt unapologetically with homosexuality. Centering on the character of Jim, a gay teacher, it is an important historical document of a moment in London gay life that offers a view of the potentially alienating effects of the queer scene while emphasising the importance of coming out. The hundreds of extras were drawn from London club-goers and gay activists and filmed in a number of London pubs and clubs.
