Adam Baran's Trade Center is a new short about what a bustling tearoom practically all of the World Trade Center was right up until the towers ceased to exist.
The film is an intensely stylish eight-plus (nice size!) minutes, consisting of audio recordings of men recalling the wild, gay goings-on at the Trade Center. Some of the participants sound amazed to this day by how much of a free-for-all the Center was — the largest men's room, stairwells, hidden nooks and crannies.
One interviewee asserts he's even spoken to a guy who was in one of the tea rooms when the planes hit, and wonders about how possible it is that every man in there made it out alive.
Trade Center lives up to the cleverness of its title — it's a great oral history of our oral and anal history, and while there are more serious aspects of the history of 9/11, the sexual past of the iconic buildings is vital, too. Just great.
From the film — a security camera that looks, to me, more like a urinal cake spying on a fuck fest.

If 2020 and 2021 have taught us anything — and it's a lesson we should have learned long ago — it's that people are not basically good. They're just not.
Case in point: Over a year after COVID-19 altered our daily lives and the economy, Janene Hoskovec is stepping into the conversation as a Karen with special knowledge about why it's okay to forego masks — and why it is acceptable to intentionally cough on people to prove a point.
Arrest her ...
