Gay Man’s Guide ’97 Director’s Cut at Barbican Cinema

Proud to continue marking UK 2024 LGBT+ History Month’s Medicine – #UnderTheScope theme, groundbreaking HIV film Gay Man’s Guide To Safer Sex ‘97 (18) makes a special return to the big screen April 30th in Barbican Cinema’s main Cinema One with a restored new Director’s Cut. Living with HIV, sex, relationships, HIV acceptance and stigma issues…it predicted U=U, PrEP and equally radically changed UK film censorship of gay sexuality on screen. Renowned HIV specialist Dr Mike Youle led the cutting edge, totally frank medical advice and discussion, along with its unforgettably daring and breathtakingly sex positive artists. The real surprise is just how much of the 1997 film remains powerfully relevant today…

“Portrays the beauty of gay sex in a way no other video has managed since” – The Pink Paper.
