(See previous post "Wide stance" tearoom bust 1962 (1/12/08))
In Mansfield, Ohio, 1962, police hid behind a two-way mirror in a public restroom and filmed the men who had sex there - the so-called "tearoom trade." They used this film footage to arrest and prosecute some sixty men under the Ohio sodomy law. Black and white, rich and poor, prominent businessmen and street hustlers - "all had one thing in common," wrote police chief John P. Butler. "They were all going to jail."

While researching this sting operation for a documentary, filmmaker William E. Jones came into possession of the unedited footage shot by the police. Using this footage with very little intervention, he created the film Tearoom.

Race, class, and sex; surveillance, voyeurism, and justice; hatred, desire, and authoritarianism - the haunting and surprising imagery of Tearoom raises many issues even as it provides a shocking history lesson. But Tearoom is a document, not a documentary - its power and complexity comes from the fact that the footage is unedited. A work both ominous and poignant, Tearoom has been selected as a featured work in the 2008 Whitney Biennial.

Film Love is proud to host William E. Jones for this special screening. Jones will be on hand to introduce the film, answer questions and debut the new book on Tearoom, published by 2nd Cannons Press and featuring over 100 frame enlargements from the film as well as many historical documents relating to the Mansfield busts.

"fascinating and important...to watch the film is to be torn between angered solidarity with the subjects and feverish speculation about the varying levels of hypocrisy on view" - San Francisco Bay Guardian.
From an interview with the maker of the film by William E. Jones, "Tearoom," 16mm film transferred to video, color, silent, 56 minutes, 1962/2007


AN OHIO NATIVE, JONES LEARNED ABOUT police footage of the Mansfield bust first in a “truly awful” police training video about camera surveillance, then in the movie “Hell’s Highway” by Atlanta filmmaker Bret Wood. The original footage now resides at the Kinsey Institute for Research of Sex, Gender & Reproduction, and serves as visual evidence of how much gay life in America blossomed during the last half of the 20th century. . .

“When I presented ‘Tearoom’ in San Francisco, many of the people in the audience were gay seniors,” Jones says. “I expected them to be quite critical, but I got the impression that they were glad to see images that reminded them of the early 1960s.

“After the first showing, a sweet old man regaled me with tales of his own tearoom experiences, including one involving sheriff’s officers in the basement of a Midwestern county courthouse,” he says.

(Quoted from Ryan Lee, "'TEAROOM' exposes hidded, persecuted gay oasis in 1962," Southern Voice, Feb. 15, 2008)
