TitleSaint SebastianDate2009SubjectDance FilmDescriptionA video work by James Welsby that explores, through implied violence, the alienation that can face young gay men. As Welsby approached turning 22, thoughts of hate crime victim Matthew Shepherd, who was murdered at 21 haunted him. The title comes from the appropriation of martyr Saint Sebastian as a gay icon, possibly for his athleticism and sacrifice. *ReelDance 2010 Encouragement Award*NoteThe ReelDance Archive was developed by ReelDance Inc. with support from Arts NSW, Australia Council for the Arts and Performance Space.Extent00:04:34RegionAustraliaCollectionThe ReelDance Archive
