THE GAY MAN’S GUIDE TO SAFER SEX: 30th Anniversary d. David Lewis, 1992 + Q&A with Producer Tony Carne & Terrence Higgins Trust Campaigns Director, Richard Angell at Barbican (01 MAR 18:30).

“On its 30th anniversary, we present a rare screening of this landmark gay sex ed documentary followed by a discussion about its legacy. Made in association with the Terrence Higgins Trust, THE GAY MAN’S GUIDE TO SAFER SEX was a vital sex educational doc that offered safe sex advice in an artistic and unashamedly erotic piece of cinema. Made soon after the end of Thatcher’s government and its explicitly homophobic policies, it remains a startlingly upfront, celebratory film.”
