Programmed and Presented by The Front Row and Henry Hanson
A group of real gay men get to live out their deepest sexual fantasies for the camera in this mind-bending ‘docufantasy’ from BOYS IN THE SAND filmmaker Wakefield Poole. A love letter to both San Francisco’s gay community and to the magic of cinema itself, TAKE ONE is a hidden gem of 1970s queer cinema and documentary filmmaking waiting to be rediscovered.
Music Box Theatre screens films of all genres and from every era of cinema, both new releases and repertory. These films may sometimes contain upsetting, outdated, or offensive material. While we aim to introduce many of our screenings, we do not always provide warnings about potentially triggering content within the films we screen. We encourage our patrons to research the film before they attend using trailers, reviews, or content information found on Common Sense Media, IMDb and DoesTheDogDie.com.
