Documenting the sexual liberation and disco hedonism of the late 70s, Studio 54 celebrates the 33-month reign of this iconic nightclub and the power of club culture.

Open for just 33 months from 1977, Studio 54 has refused to age, becoming as iconic for club culture in 2018 as it once was nearly 40 years ago.

In this new documentary, Director Matt Tyrnauer gets access to never-before-seen footage from inside the nightclub, where photography was rare and often restricted by staff, putting viewers on the dancefloor for the first time. Tyrnauaer also excavates into the history of the space, exploring how it was built and run until its early end in the late 70s.
