Synopsis
Portrait Of Jason is the raw record of a confessional conversation with gay African-American hustler
Jason Holliday about his life and times. A disturbing and fascinating document, it unflinchingly observes Holliday conversing, performing, confessing, dissolving.
Shirley Clarke was a key figure in the American avant-garde and has been an influence on filmmakers and video artists over the last 40 years.
Portrait Of Jason is a counter-culture classic and a landmark in American independent cinema.
