GANGBANG deconstructs the presentation of male bodies in gay contemporary pornography. The film takes place in a bedroom that resembles a gay porn set. Six male models occupy the space, surrounding an empty bed, staring at you. They barely move, always keeping their smile, which is all the intimacy they offer. We anticipate that someone will eventually make the first move, but unlike what the title suggests, GANGBANG denies the viewer of sexual gratification.

This collection of rare, newly-preserved original movie trailers provides a fascinating — and entertaining — look at how gay porn of yore was marketed and sold: filled with lurid taglines, false promises, personal messages from the stars, and surprisingly creativity. As one trailer notes, “It’s Rated X, so come with a grownup.” Preceded by GANGBANG.
