}}No Sad Songs is a Canada documentary film, directed by Nik Sheehan and released in 1985.[1] Billed as the first documentary film about the HIV/AIDS crisis,[2] the film explored the LGBT community's early response to the issue particularly but not exclusively through the personal testimony of Jim Black, a man with AIDS who died several months after the film's release,[3] and Catherine Hunt, the sister of another person with AIDS.[1]

Several other community figures, including musician David Sereda and HIV/AIDS activist Jim St. James, also appear in smaller capacities in the film.

The film was produced by Cell Productions in conjunction with the AIDS Committee of Toronto.[4] Through much of the film and in the original promotional poster, Black wore a "Choose Life" T-shirt by artist Katharine Hamnett;[4] however, during the time between the film's production and its release, Christian evangelist Ken Campbell had registered "Choose Life Canada" as the name of an anti-abortion lobby group, and the AIDS Committee faced controversy when it chose to withdraw the posters rather than risk having them misconstrued as an endorsement of Campbell.[4]
