Synopsis
A vibrant scene unfolds at Benjy’s, a gay club in East London’s Mile End district, during a September night in 1984. Derek Jarman captures the energy of around 100 patrons, including club regulars and staff, as they dance and socialize. The film features improvisations linked to the early experimental work for Ron Peck’s neo-noir feature film 'Empire State,' written by Mark Ayres. Iconic tracks like 'Let the Music Play' and 'Planet Rock' fill the air, creating a lively atmosphere that reflects the creativity of the LGBTQ community in the 1980s.
