Gay power

Directed by Sharon HayesKate Millett. Sharon Hayes Kate Millett. We've always been here and we will always return, just as this footage loops. Queer joy and liberation cannot be snuffed out. I think what I've been missing watching old Pride footage is context.

The Gay Liberation Movement

Sure, these images are remarkable, but what about the people behind them? And what can we take away from it as queer people now? So, this film which is a collection of original footage from the second Christopher Street Liberation Day Parade inpaired with commentary from one of the women who filmed it and queer historian Sharon Hayes is fantastic.

It explores the importance of the parade, of its joyous celebration, but more so its vulnerability. Hayes points out that this footage of beautiful, happy people hides its fragility, its position as a deeply oppressed group who had…. Deeply moved by this picture. It feels like this footage could be used in a better context.

The drastic difference in tone, compared to other contemporary documentaries collected with this by Altered Innocence, is hilariously indicative of being made by lesbians rather than gay men.
