The only night club open during lockdown | The Playback

When Covid-19 shut down clubs around the world, filmmaker Aurora Brachman found community in Club Quarantine, a queer dance party that took place every night over Zoom. Brachman soon became a regular, and spent two months interviewing her fellow partygoers-turned-friends for “Club Quarantine”, a raw, vulnerable portrait of intimacy and connection at a moment when it felt impossible.
