“The American Bowie”, “The True Fairy of Rock & Roll”, “Hype of the Year”. Known as the first openly gay rock star, Jobriath’s legacy delves deeper than the labels hung upon him. His reign was brieftwo years and two albums. Sabotaged by a publicity machine run amok, shunned by the gay community and dismissed by critics, Jobriath was excommunicated from the music business, and became an early casuality of AIDS. Now new generations of fans have discovered him though acts like The Pet Shop Boys, Joe Elliot of Def Leppard, Siouxsie Sioux and Morrisey, all of whom cite Jobriath as a groundbreaking influence. Though interviews, archival material and animation, experience the heartbreaking, unbelievable story of the one, the only, Jobriath. (Madrid International Gay and Lesbian Film Festival)
