ALBANY — Scene One Spectrum 8 Theatres will host Capital Region native William Forbes for a special screening and Q&A for his latest film, “Name of the Game,” on Friday.
The documentary traces the untold story of Black male exotic dancers from the late 1980s to the early 2000s in Los Angeles. Chronicling the lives of past and current dancers, “Name of the Game” aims to deliver an unfiltered, uncensored look at this sector of the exotic performance industry and its intersections with hip-hop, gang culture and kung fu assassins. The film won the Audience Award for Best U.S. Documentary Feature at the Mammoth Lake Film Festival in 2023.
