The documentary Midnight Frontier tells the story of activists that stand at the frontline of LGBTQI activism in Georgia. How do activists deal with homophobia there, what is the role of the church and the government? And what does club Bassiani means for them? They recount their experience during the International Day Against Homophobia, in which they were assaulted by thousands of anti-gay activists, led by the Georgian Orthodox Church. Club Bassiani, and their queer nights Horoom Nights, form their fort of resistance to homophobic violence. For them, nightlife in Georgia is not an escape, but a way to resist. A fight that is not contained within the walls of the club, uniting friends and enemies through dance.
