SOME GAYS OF A CERTAIN AGE is a feature length documentary by Grammy Award nominated Outfest Audience Award winning director Victor Mignatti.
The film interweaves the oral histories of seven HIV-negative gay men who moved to New York City in the 1970s and 80s, experienced the final glory days of the gay sexual revolution, survived the AIDS health crisis and many significant transformative struggles to now find themselves bearing witness to the indignities and unprecedented challenges facing the United States today. The film is a bracing, entertaining and often harrowing story of loss and survival as well as a tribute to our gay elders, many of whom have spent the better part of their lives asking themselves the question “How could I have survived?”
