Broadway dancer and choreographer Wakefield Poole kickstarted the porno chic era and made Fire Island an international gay tourist destination with this groundbreaking debut feature that famously led Variety to declare “there are no more closets.” BOYS IN THE SAND features gay icon Casey Donovan (SCORE, THE BACK ROW) in a trio of sexual vignettes that mix the erotic with the avant-garde on the beaches and in the bedrooms of the Fire Island Pines.

Preceded by ANDY (Dir. Wakefield Poole, 1971, 10 min, DCP)

Made as a birthday gift for its namesake, Wakefield Poole’s ANDY is a short portrait of the Whitney Museum’s May 1971 retrospective of the art of Andy Warhol. Shot in eye-searing color with clever in-camera editing and an eclectic soundtrack, ANDY is an invaluable document of Warhol at his peak and a perfect companion to Poole’s hardcore breakthrough BOYS IN THE SAND, which it originally screened before.
