Special Premiere Screening!
A surprisingly intimate and humorous doc that peers with empathy and curiosity into one of the world’s only “homo-normative” communities, the island “paradise” of Fire Island Pines. Told through home video, archival footage, and eccentric character portraits of the vibrant present, A HOUSE IS NOT A DISCO finds a Fire Island in transition; confronting diversity, inclusivity, gentrification and the frightening and growing peril of coastal communities worldwide…climate change and rising seas.
