How gay men used to speak - A short film in Polari

Polari was a form of slang used by gay men in Britain prior to the decriminalisation of homosexuality in 1967, used primarily as a coded way for them to discuss their experiences. It quickly fell out of use in the 70s, although several words entered mainstream English and are still used today. For more about Polari: http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polari "In 6 minutes, Brian and Karl’s new short film Putting on the Dish creates a complete environment of the homosexual under Britain’s anti-homosexuality laws." - Julius Kassendorf, The Solute. "A fantastic short...It’s a poignant scene, made all the more so by our knowledge that this exquisite mode of communication will soon only exist in museums and preservation documents like this film." - J. Bryan Lowder, Slate. "A magnificent example of how great films can emerge from simple ideas...astutely written and delivered with perfect timing." - Jennie Kermode, Eye For Film. Written & Directed by Brian Fairbairn and Karl Eccleston http://w
