Programmed and Presented by The Front Row and Henry Hanson
Iconic gay sex symbol Peter Berlin writes, directs, produces, edits, and stars as Helmut, a German Adonis admired and desired by every person he comes in contact with—including members of the Cockettes—but who only loves the blind boy who can’t judge him for his looks and won’t see them fade with age. One of the more unusual and artistically ambitious films to come out of San Francisco’s gay underground film scene, THAT BOY is a singular tribute to narcissism that has been newly restored in 2k by Vinegar Syndrome from the long-lost original 16mm camera negative.
