Have We Met Before?

Directed by Oliver Mason

Chronicles the history of the gay community from the 1970's to the present day, examining the evolution of meeting and dating online.
Have We Met Before? is a lively documentary-style gay short film tracing how men found one another before and after the arrival of apps. Oliver Mason mixes personal testimony with playful recreations, moving through cruising, coded signals and early online encounters with an appealing sense of humour. Its brief runtime inevitably limits the history, but the film makes that history feel immediate and human.
