I Know a Place is a Canadian short documentary film, directed by Roy Mitchell and released in 1999.[1] A reflection on gay life in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, the film profiles Bob Goderre, a retired steelworker who hosted regular parties for gay residents of the region in his home in the 1960s and 1970s.[2]
The film has often been analyzed alongside The Pinco Triangle, a documentary film about LGBT life in Sudbury which was released in the same year.[1][3]
The film premiered at the 1999 Inside Out Film and Video Festival,[4] where it was the winner of the award for Best Documentary Film. In 2000, it was screened at Toronto's Cinecycle theatre as part of The Best of Everything, a program of Mitchell's short films that also included Christian Porn, Delta Dawn and Proud Drivers of Canada.[5]
In 2006, it received its first-ever screening in Sault Ste. Marie, at an Algoma University College event called Queer Voices from the North.[6]
