Portrait of Jason

August Auteurs • 1h 47m

Directed by Shirley Clarke • Documentary • 1967 • US • English
Featuring Jason Holliday, Shirley Clarke

In 1966, director Shirley Clarke spent twelve hours with the one-and-only Jason Holliday where she confronted the iconic performer about his good times and bad behavior as a gay hustler, on-and-off houseboy, and aspiring cabaret performer. As the cameras rolled, Holliday spun tales, sang songs, and donned costumes through the night, creating a mesmerizing portrait of a remarkable man.
