Mr. Bound & Gagged
His name is Bob Wingate, but he’s better known as Mr. Bound & Gagged. Together with Lee Clauss, his partner of over 30 years, they published and edited the gay pornographic magazine Bound & Gagged from 1987-2005 and directed nearly forty videos featuring A-list gay pornstars during much the same time. Now octo- and septua-genarians, the two New Yorkers venture to Chicago to go through their personal collections at the Leather Archives & Museum (LA&M), where they rediscover troves of stories from their lives making porn: correspondence with clergy; rarely-seen work by legendary gay artists and writers; radical political commentary about AIDS, state censorship and modern conservatism – all interspersed with reams of explicit porn and hours of salacious tapes. Harsh critics of an American “society which considers sex evil,” and once chastised by a U.S. senator who referred to their work as “shocking and repulsive,” these elders will be best remembered as stewards of a long-overlooked community of queer creatives and dissidents.
Directed by Carson Parish, USA, 35 minutes.
Producers: Adam Baran, Paul Heckler, Derek Howard, Carson Parish, Nick Tyson

afterglow:

A post-screening conversation featuring Bob Wingate and Lee Clauss will touch upon where we’ve been and where we are in the political moment, and society’s stance on sex and depictions of sexuality. And then stick around for a bit of rope bondage with Cockloft’s Jay Rood!
