Iconic Film “Deep Throat” Returns Home to Miami as Son & Daughter of Gerard Damiano Sr. Commemorate the 50th Anniversary at Exxxotica Miami & The Pink Pussycat After Party this Weekend Friday, July 14 through Sunday, July 16<\/em><\/p>\n

Chicago \u2014The groundbreaking adult film \u201cDeep Throat\u201d which brought porn to mainstream audiences returns to Miami where it was shot just over 50 years ago. The son and daughter of writer\/director Gerard Damiano Sr., Gerard Jr. and Christar Damiano will present the film at Exxxotica Miami on Saturday July 15, at 8:10pm at The Miami Airport Convention Center 711 NW 72nd Ave, Miami, FL 33126, followed by a panel discussion on the history, cultural impact, and controversy surrounding the film.<\/p>\n

Locations in North Miami and Coconut Grove are featured throughout the \u201cDeep Throat\u201d. The iconic opening scene in which\u00a0the film\u2019s star\u00a0Linda Lovelace drives along Biscayne Blvd. was shot during Super Bowl VI which pitted the \u201cSurprise\u201d Miami Dolphins against the Dallas Cowboys. Director Damiano would comment \u201cIt was a perfect day to shoot the exteriors because the streets were deserted. Everyone was home watching the game!\u201d<\/p>\n

Gerard Jr. and Christar have just completed a World Tour screening their 4K restoration (which is considered to be the definitive version of \u201cDeep Throat),\u201d to commemorate its 50th<\/sup>\u00a0Anniversary. Although generally the film was very well received, the tour was not without controversy. According to Gerard Jr.,\u00a0\u201cSome theaters have been reluctant to show it for fear of pushback based on comments that Linda made years later while being coached by anti-porn feminists. Her story is a very complicated one. There is no doubt that she suffered greatly at the hands of her husband. People assume that he beat her because she didn\u2019t want to perform in the film, but the truth of what actually happened on the set of \u2018Deep Throat\u2019 is very different.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 1972 the siblings traveled to Miami together with their family for the filming of the movie. Christar says \u201cMiami has changed a lot, as has the world. There was no \u2018adult industry\u2019 back then. Now we are returning to Miami for EXXXOTICA, which is literally a convention for an industry that \u2018Deep Throat\u2019 helped to create.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Damianos will participate in a talkback following the screening, where they will\u00a0share their stories of being on location during the filming of \u201cDeep Throat,\u201d the events leading up to the making of the film and the effect that it had on their family.\u00a0They will be joined by Anthony Battista, the Philly stockbroker turned film distributor, who was indicted in 1974 during the movie\u2019s landmark obscenity trials. He appeared as a defendant alongside Damiano Sr., stars Linda Lovelace and Harry Reems, and members of the Peraino crime family. Anthony\u2019s daughter Kristin Battista-Frazee is the author of \u201cThe Pornographer\u2019s Daughter,\u201d in which she recounts her family\u2019s literal trials and tribulations.<\/p>\n

During Exxxotica which begins on Friday July 14th<\/sup>\u00a0and runs through Sunday the 16th<\/sup>, The Deep Throat crew will be located at booth 123, where they will be selling limited edition Deep Throat merchandise. They will be assisted by special guest, adult star Joslyn Jane, who will also be available to meet and greet fans.<\/p>\n
