The popular queer club founded by Block9 in 2007 has become a beloved staple of the festival, famous for its loose atmosphere, sweat-soaked dancefloor and 80s New York Meat Packers Warehouse aesthetic.

Meat Rack was shot on a variety of formats at the festival’s 2017 edition on the 10th anniversary of NYC Downlow. The 16-minute film gives an insight into the construction of the venue and its hot and heavy atmosphere, with a banging soundtrack accompanying footage of the Downlow’s staff, performers and punters.
