The Party

DirectorAbigail Child

2007
25 min

“In The Party, Child has assembled a remarkable array of subjects embodying the complex intersections of sexuality, race, and class. The film documents a party of African-American men in Cleveland, living "on the down-low” (having clandestine sex with men while leading apparently heterosexual lives), and showcases Child's unique ability to get people to reveal themselves.
