"I thought it was just a bookstore… with a circus theme." Ha! Of course, it was much more than just that… Netflix has released an official trailer for a documentary called Circus of Books, about the iconic Circus of Books "bookstore" in Los Angeles (now closed down for good). This originally premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival last year, and it also played at the Frameline43 San Francisco LGBTQ+ Film Festival. For over 35 years, the gay porn shop "Circus of Books" gave Los Angeles' LGBT+ community a space to socialize and celebrate themselves without judgment. Executive produced by Ryan Murphy, Circus of Books is the debut documentary from artist Rachel Mason, who finally asks the least radical people she knows — her parents — how they became America's biggest distributors of gay porn, and why her mother reacted so negatively when her own son came out of the closet. Looks like a very personal and interesting film about one unique family. ›››
