About the Speakers

Gerard Damino, Jr. & Christar Damiano

Visual Artist & Filmmaker Gerard Damiano Jr. and Sound Healer & Performance Artist Christar Damiano are the son and daughter of legendary director Gerard Damiano Sr. They grew up in Queens, New York, in a house that always seemed to have a film in the refrigerator. They were on location in Miami with their family during the filming of Deep Throat.  Reacting to their father’s arrest and subsequent prosecution, their mother reassured them, “People don’t understand him because he’s ahead of his time.” Gerard and Christar believe that their father’s time has finally come. They have dedicated themselves to preserving his legacy and continuing his fight for Freedom of Expression without censorship through their company Damiano Films.
