What if you really did put all the gays on an island? A House is not a Disco documents a year-in-the-life in the iconic “homo-normative” community of Fire Island Pines. Preceded by the Short Film: Realness with a Twist

What if you did put all the gays on an island? A House is not a Disco documents a year in the life in the world's most iconic "homo-normative" community: Fire Island Pines. Situated fifty miles from New York City, this storied queer beach town finds itself amid a renaissance as a new generation of Millennial homeowners reimagine The Pines for a new, more inclusive era.

Filmed like a Frederick Wiseman movie on magic mushrooms, a large cast of unforgettable eccentrics, activists, drifters, and first timers reflect on the legacy of The Pines while preparing their beloved village for the biggest challenge it has faced since the AIDS crisis: rising seas caused by climate change.
