“Sticks and Stones” Stonewall Library and Archives, 1717 N. Andrews Ave., 7PM Suggested Donation $2. This ultra-rare gay party film shows us the hedonistic, no-worries, pre-AIDS world of Fire Island and is a fascinating time capsule of a film. This film also appears to be missing from Vito Russo's  "Celluloid Closet" book on gay cinema.

The theme song  "Let it always be summer" comes across as a kind of commentary on the characters, who desire to be young and attractive and enjoy themselves for as long as they can. The dialogue can be hard to hear at times, but there are some wonderful moments - the ultra-camp guy who tries to change a tire being one of the more memorable scenes - I was laughing along with him, not at him.
