Trouser Bar

Trouser Bar is a 2016 British silent erotic comedy/fantasy film directed by Kristen Bjorn (born: Robert Russell), photographed by Sam Hardy, and edited by Esteban Requejo.

It features British comedians Barry Cryer and Julian Clary in cameo roles, along with actor Nigel Havers and London-based entertainer, Miss Hope Springs.

"[1] Trouser Bar stars Denholm Spurr (Bobby), Craig Daniel (Joe), Zac Renfree (Larry), Ashley Ryder (David), Scott Hunter and Hans Berlin.

Five days of filming took place in September 2015 on a specially-constructed set in a converted TV repair shop on the Caledonian Road close to King's Cross station in London.

[2] McGillivray had previously announced that a limited edition collector's vinyl LP (long-playing) record of Stephen Thrower's soundtrack for Trouser Bar would be released along with other cues.

It includes a green vinyl LP "lovingly wrapped in haute couture corduroy complete with lavishly illustrated insert, paisley hankie, badge and Peter de Rome's visiting card."

The screening, introduced by the BFI's Brian Robinson and also including Peter de Rome's short film Encounter, featured numerous double entendres and an extended Q&A with members of the Trouser Bar cast and crew.

The BFI added, "Set in a gentlemen’s outfitters c. 1976 the film takes its inspiration from the emotions aroused by a fetishistic love of corduroy, leather and tight trousers... a cast of professional erotic performers star alongside some gifted amateurs.

MixBrasil voted Trouser Bar the Best International Short Film at the festival, with the trophy later presented to producer David McGillivray in London in December 2016 by Marcelo D'Avilla.

MIX NYC is described on its website as "the longest-running queer film festival in New York City and a decisive launching pad for emerging talents - including some of the best-known names in cinema today."
