The Last Leatherman of the Vale of Cashmere

Directed by Greg Loser

An aging Leatherman makes a weekly pilgrimage to the cruising destination of his youth.
There is something funny and sad about a leatherman discovering that the cruising ground which once defined his social life now belongs to joggers, families and middle-aged women. Greg Loser turns that cultural displacement into character rather than nostalgia. The gay short film is so convincingly performed that it can initially pass for documentary, and its strongest idea is that greater acceptance can coexist with the loss of specific queer spaces.
