No Sad Songs is a Canada documentary film, directed by Nik Sheehan and released in 1985. Billed as the first documentary film about the HIV/AIDS crisis, 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, and Catherine Hunt, the sister of another person with AIDS.
