NY84 Directed by Cyril Morin
Three young artists and lovers, Kate, Anton, and Keith, live carefree in the New York art scene of the early 1980s. They party, photograph, paint, sing, and play their way through the clubs and lofts of Alphabet City. The party ends in 1984 when Anton and Keith contract a mysterious illness known as the “gay cancer.” What follows is an intimate glimpse into their creative and emotional lives as the trio loses their youth and innocence.
