| For a stretch of time in the 1980s and 90s, the word buddy meant, in modern gay life, someone who had agreed to be a friend to a man dying of AlDS. A buddy visited. Listened to stories. ToId stories. Laughed. Cried. And above alI, tried to make sure that the fraiI man in the bed knew that he had not been forgotten. That his passing would be noted. And mourned. David (David Schachter), a naive graduate student, has voIunteered to work as a 'buddy' for people dying of AIDS. Assigned to the intensely poIitical Robert (Geoff EdhoIm), a lifelong activist whose friends and family have abandoned him following his diagnosis, the two men, each with notably different worId views, soon discover common bonds, as David's inner activist awakens and Robert's need for emotionaI reIease is fuIfilIed. In the 1985 fiIm Buddies, writer-director Arthur J. Bressan Jr. did a simple yet radical thing: He told the story of one such friendship and, in the process, made the first feature-Iength drama about AlDS. Shot on 16mm fiIm in nine days, Buddies earned respectful reviews and a few festivaI prizes, but has faded from view over the years. Bressan died of AIDS in July 1987; now, thanks to the efforts of his sister Roe Bressan and film historian Jenni OIson, Buddies has received a 2K digital restoration from Vinegar Syndrome. Thirty-three years after its initial reIease, the film remains as affecting as ever. - ViIIage Voice - Newly scanned and restored from 16mm camera negative- - Original theatrical trailer - Archival stilI/news/ production article gaIIery - EngIish SDH subtitles |
