Buddies (1985 film)
''Buddies'' is a 1985 American drama film. It is the first film to deal with the AIDS pandemic, preceding the television movie ''An Early Frost'' (also released in 1985). Directed by Arthur J. Bressan Jr., who would die of complications from AIDS two years after the film was released, the film follows a New York City gay man in a monogamous relationship becoming a "buddy" or a volunteer friend to another gay man dying of AIDS and the friendship that develops. The film stars Geoff Edholm, David Schachter, Billy Lux, and David Rose.
== History ==
The first widely released Hollywood film to deal with the HIV/AIDS pandemic within the United States would be ''Longtime Companion'' in 1990. While news reports about the pandemic began to appear in the New York Times as early as 1981, the fact that many of the initial victims were gay or bisexual men, contributed to how Hollywood and society responded.〔()〕 The long standing taboo within Hollywood about depicting homosexuality played a large role in the refusal of the industry to cinematically deal with the pandemic when it was initially treated as a "gay disease." See also The Celluloid Closet book and documentary film.
In response to the pandemic, and Hollywood hypocrisy, Bressan wrote and directed the film ''Buddies'' in 1985, and it was shown in a handful of urban, art house movie theaters.
