Finished is an unforgettable look at the short but intense life of Alan Lambert, a 25-year-old gay porn actor who flamboyantly committed suicide in a public park. Lambert left behind two cats, several friends and lovers, an intricate suicide rant, and twenty or so films, including Boot Camp, Hardball, and Pool Boy.
Finished director William E. Jones, seduced by the image of a man he never knew, set out to make a film about the vanity of contemporary gay culture, trying to understand why this young actor killed himself. He discovered something much deeper. Attempting to make sense of a life cut tragically short and of his own obsessions, Jones has created a deeply emotional life story and a profound examina tion of the temporary nature of beauty. Equal parts personal confession, biography, and political analysis, Finished is a sober and highly experimental journey through the shadowy landscape of the gay adult film industry and into the heart of one of its casualties.
Opening the program is Frostbite, in which a lonely lighthouse operator rescues his fantasy man.
