    The fly on the wall approach to this simple short film makes it all the more compelling in a historical sense. It may just be the mundane account of a gay man going for a night out, but the scene depicted is a rare and authentic one that saw no presence in 70s Australian Cinema. It's transgressive presence to showcase the life of unfiltered queerness is why Satdee Night should deserve more historical evaluation in Australian cinema.

Marlon Riggs, with assistance from other gay Black men, especially poet Essex Hemphill, celebrates Black men loving Black men as a revolutionary act. The film intercuts footage of Hemphill reciting his poetry, Riggs telling the story of his growing up, scenes of men in social intercourse and dance, and various comic riffs, including a visit to the "Institute of Snap!thology," where men take lessons in how to snap their fingers: the sling snap, the point snap, the diva snap.
