CGiii Comment

There are many out there that will scream that this is not gay - well, watch it - IT IS GAY.

The first 'gay' film...

Astonishing.

Dickson Experimental Sound Film is of consequence to cinema history as the only surviving film made for the Kinetophone, which combined the phonograph and the kinetoscope. Yet the scene it depicts, of two men dancing while a third plays violin, has long captivated qu**r artists and audiences alike.
