Synopsis:

Hugely controversial on its initial release, Nighthawks defies categorisation. Set to a haunting electronic score, its compelling cyclical structure contrasts the daily work of a schoolteacher against his nights spent cruising bars and clubs in search of Mr Right. Presented here in a new HD transfer from the original negative, this stunning restoration by the BFI reveals Nighthawks to be one of the great undervalued films of the 1970s. Nighthawks II: Strip Jack Naked puts the earlier film into an historical and personal context - Ron Peck draws on his own journey from closeted suburban teen to politically radicalised filmmaker. Presented here newly graded from the original production video, Nighthawks II: Strip Jack Naked is one of the most honest and abrasive British autobiographies ever made.

Nighthawks (1978)
A homosexual man is forced to hide his sexuality by day while living his secret life by night.
Strip Jack Naked (1991)
Ron Peck talks about his experiences of growing up as a gay man, the attitudes to homosexuality in Britain, and his journey towards making his film Nighthawks (1978).
