The Colour of His Hair

2017 NR 22m 6.4

An examination of the Lesbian and Gay News Media Archive in London interspersed with recollections of the Homosexual Law Reform Society and a meditation on life under discriminatory law.

Based on an unrealised film script written in 1964 for The Homosexual Law Reform Society, a British organisation that campaigned for the decriminalisation of homosexual relations between men, 'The Colour of His Hair' merges drama and documentary into an impressionistic meditation on queer life before and after the partial legalisation of homosexuality in 1967.
