David Secter
David Secter is a Canadian film director.
He is best known for the 1965 film" Winter Kept Us Warm", the first English Canadian film ever screened at the Cannes Film Festival.
Widely considered a key milestone in the development of Canadian film," Winter Kept Us Warm" was a gay themed independent film written, directed and funded entirely by Secter, who is gay, while he was a student at the University of Toronto.
Secter subsequently released a second film in Canada," The Offering" in 1966, and entered discussions with CBC Television to produce a drama series for the network.
However, before that series was launched, he moved to New York City to pursue opportunities in the much larger American film and theatre industry.
He was initially slated to direct Cher's 1969 film" Chastity", but dropped out of the project.
In New York, he lived with several other experimental filmmakers in a clothing- optional, drug and sex- friendly commune, and worked as a theatre director.
He released the low- budget sex comedy" Getting Together"( also titled" Feelin' Up" in some releases) in 1976, and subsequently moved to Los Angeles.
He did not work on another film until" Cyberdorm" in 1997.
In the early 1990s, Secter's nephew Joel rented" Getting Together" from his local video store in Winnipeg, not knowing that his uncle had directed films.
After discovering his uncle's name in the credits, Joel contacted David to discuss his career in film.
These discussions culminated in Joel Secter's own debut as a filmmaker, the 2005 documentary" The Best of Secter& the Rest of Secter".
In the film, David also revealed that he is HIV- positive.
Also in 2005, David Secter directed and released a documentary film on the Gay Games,. He is interviewed in Matthew Hays' Lambda Literary Award- winning 2007 book.

Winter Kept Us Warm
Winter Kept Us Warm is a Canadian romantic drama film, released in 1965.
The title comes from the fifth line of T. S. Eliot's" The Waste Land".
An independent film written, directed, and funded by David Secter, it occupies a unique place in the history of Canadian cinema as the first English- language Canadian film ever screened at the Cannes Film Festival.
Its debut was as the opening film of the Commonwealth Film Festival( Cardiff, September 27, 1965).
It was also given a Special Jury Award at the 7th International Montreal Film Festival.
The film starred John Labow as Doug Harris and Henry Tarvainen as Peter Saridan, two students at the University of Toronto who develop a complex quasi-romantic friendship, and Joy Tepperman and Janet Amos as their girlfriends Bev and Sandra.
The film's gay subtext was carefully coded by Secter, who wrote the film based on his own experience falling in love with a male fellow student but feared that a more explicitly gay film would not attract an audience.
Even some of the film's cast have claimed in interviews that they did not know at the time that the film was actually about homosexuality.
