Summary:
"'My name is Jason Holliday...' The 'star' of
Shirley
Clarke
s unforgettable Portrait of Jason is black, gay, hilarious, heartbreaking and on screen for every one of the film's 107 minutes. The evening of December 3, 1966, director
Shirley
Clarke
and crew filmed Jason for twelve straight hours as he told stories about his life, loves and work. At a time when it was illegal to be gay in the US, Jason spun extraordinary tales about his a career as a nightclub entertainer; his confrontations with his father; growing up in Trenton; and the many forms of hustling that comprised the basis of his existence.

's masterpiece. Milestone searched for three years to find the original elements for this definitive restoration of a landmark film. Provocative, groundbreaking and truly gripping, Portrait of Jason was one of the first LGBT films to be taken seriously by the general audiences and remains one of the most remarkable films in the history of American independent cinema."--Container.
