Anyone going to be in Rotterdam (that’s The Netherlands) end of January/beginning of February? If you are, take me with you! I mean, lucky you, be sure to check out –
from wohler films:
Mickey & Richard is an intimate portrait of iconic gay model Mickey Squires, told in his own words. From the makers of Raw! Uncut! Video!, the documentary explores the challenges of maintaining a personal identity while coexisting with a porn star alter ego. Filmed on 16mm and constructed from a treasure trove of erotic archival materials, the film journeys through 50 years of LGBTQ+ history while examining one man’s struggle to find meaningful connection through the world of adult entertainment. (70 min, 2026)
I think this is the World Premiere!
Mickey & Richard will be at the 55th International Film Festival Rotterdam: 29 January – 8 February 2026
from the Festival’s site: “A portrait of 80s gay porn icon Mickey Squires and the man who performed him, Richard Bernstein, which turns from a fringe-film historical documentary into an essay on the mysteries and unpredictabilities of acting as a key activity in all our lives.”
from the men who brought us Raw! Uncut! Video! (the link should go to Kanopy – and if you have a Kanopy account, and haven’t already checked out Raw! Uncut! Video! – do it now!) a documentary about Mickey Squires. So excited for this!
gosh I want this poster! and check out the credits- Dark Entries / Josh Cheon; Steven Toushin / Bijou Video; Patrick Cowley; and of course the directors/producers: Ryan A. White and A.P. Pickle.
