Film Description
Features Nighthawks (1978) and NIghthawks 2 (Strip Jack Naked), Ron Peck's groundbreaking films about gay life in Britain.
One of the first commercially-regarded gay feature films from the UK, Nighthawks consciously sought to redress the negative and moralistic stereotypes presented by mainstream cinema. The everyday experiences of a gay teacher offer both a subjective account of his disjointed emotional life, and a fascinating record of the gay scene in London in the late 70s.
Strip Jack Naked/Nighthawks 2 is a companion piece to Ron Peck and Paul Hallam's ground-breaking 'Nighthawks'. It is an autobiographical film that tells not only of the struggle to make Nighthawks but also of the director's life as a gay man growing up in late 20th century Britain. Its unusual honesty marks Strip Jack Naked as both a lucid account of the responsibilities of a gay filmmaker, and as one of the most honest and abrasive British biographies ever made.
