Portrait of Jason
Director: Shirley Clarke Run Time: 105 min. Format: 35mm Release Year: 1967
Starring: Carl Lee, Jason Holliday, Shirley Clarke
One night in a hotel room getting drunk, smoking darts and getting hounded by a camera crew in a startling observation of one persons experience being Queer and Black in mid-century America. Blending raw emotion and berating the subject, this film spotlights a shared human experience and how we treat each other (kindly or otherwise). Also, one charming fella, can’t deny that.
