Jason and Shirley

Set in 1966, Jason and Shirley delves into the power struggle between Jewish filmmaker Shirley Clarke and Jason Holiday, a prominent black gay figure. The film is inspired by true events surrounding the creation of Clarke's documentary, Portrait of Jason.

With a focus on this unique interaction, the film captures the complexities of identity and race in a historical context. It features performances by Tony Torn and Nicola Gorham, who bring this tense dynamic to life. The drama serves as both a narrative and a commentary on the filmmaking process and the relationships that shape it.
