There Are No More Closets: Films & Videos of W. Poole Vol. 1 [Blu-ray]

There Are No More Closets: Films & Videos of W. Poole Vol. 1 Blu-ray presents the first volume in a major anthology devoted to pioneering filmmaker Wakefield Poole, gathering a remarkable body of work that helped expand the boundaries of queer independent cinema.

Spanning a decade of filmmaking from 1974 to 1984, this collection brings together Poole’s final feature films and early video works, tracing an evolution from experimental erotic narratives to ambitious docufantasy and intimate character-driven storytelling. Across these works, Poole blends sensuality, formal experimentation and personal expression in ways that remain historically significant and artistically distinctive.

Presented in a 2-disc edition with restorations, alternate cuts, commentaries and archival supplements, this first volume offers an essential survey of an underground filmmaker whose influence continues to resonate.
