Both documentary and fantasy, it blends archival footage with black and white paeans to a life that might have been--a Harlem nightclub from the 1920s, a London nightspot from the late eighties, various dream sequences--foregrounding gay sexual desire, constructed of a meÌlange of materials. Looking for Langston is not a mainstream film, but a short film, an avant-garde film, a gay film, and a black British film. Indeed, the prospect of viewing the film can be an off-putting one, considering its competing narrative lines as documentary, reclamation of an aspect of black history, rumination on the AIDS crisis, or pure fantasy. 505 0 $a Opening -- Langston -- Shared secret -- Beauty -- Waking -- What happened? -- Hunger -- In vogue -- Wall of memory -- Fallen angels -- Collision -- Credits. 586 $a Winner, Gay and Lesbian Award of the Berlin International Film Festival "Teddy," Best Short Film, 1989 Berlin International Film Festival. 500 $a Special features: Commentary track with Isaac Julien & Nina Kellgren [optional audio feature]; Photo gallery [slide show] (7 min.); "The attendant" [featurette] (8 min.); Other Strand titles [previews] (9 min.). 600 10 $a Hughes, Langston, $d 1902-1967. 650 0 $a Gay men $v Drama. 650 0 $a Closeted gays $v Drama. 650 0 $a Gay men $z New York $z New York $v Drama. 650 0 $a African American poets $y 20th century $v Drama. 650 0 $a African American gay men $y 20th century $v Drama. 650 0 $a African American authors $x Sexual behavior $v Drama. 650 0 $a Harlem Renaissance. 651 0 $a Harlem (New York, N.Y.) $v Drama. 655 0 $a Foreign films. 655 7 $a Erotic films. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Short films. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Historical films. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Biographical films. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Fiction films. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Video recordings for the hearing impaired. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Julien, Isaac. 700 1 $a Marsh-Edwards, Nadine. 700 1 $a Baldwin, James, $d 1924-1987. 700 1 $a Hemphill, Essex. 700 1 $a Nugent, Bruce, $d 1906-1987. 700 1 $a Als, Hilton. 700 1 $a Ellison, Ben. $4 act 700 1 $a Baidoo, Matthew. $4 act 710 2 $a Sankofa Film & Video. 710 2 $a British Film Institute. 710 2 $a Strand Releasing (Firm) 941 $a 2 945 $a dvv 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231219011331.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20181010011648.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=65178432675A11E1B04F54DA6AFF544EInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
