For those who haven’t yet been there, “Got 2B There” offers guest-list access into the world of gay circuit dance parties – the hedonistic social epicentre of North America’s “A” list gay men. Born out of the AIDS epidemic of the 1980s, the circuit scene has become something of a paradox. On one hand, the parties raise thousands of dollars for AIDS organizations. On the other, critics charge that the circuit itself contributes to the spread of the disease and encourages the widespread use of crystal meth and GHB. This provocative film gives ample time to both sides. Shot at circuit events across North America, it combines throbbing footage of thousands of buffed, sweating torsos with a who’s who line-up of commentators including party promoter Jeffrey Sanker; DJs David Knapp, Susan Morabito, Julian Mash and Buc; and circuit critic Michelangelo Signorile.
