GAY SAN FRANCIS

Filmmakers San Stryker and Victor Silverman unearthed this film while rearchg their Emmy-wng documentary Screamg Queens: The Rt at Compton's Cafeteria, which clud footage om Gay San Francis. Rare photos of backstage drsg rooms, streetsp, legendary clubs, and daily hangouts together form a kaleispic view, showsg the diversy and energy that the neighborhood is still known for Tenrlo is where San Francis keeps s secrets – home to unrground gay bars, illic nightclubs, and the re of the vice dtry.

Siarly, aptly-tled works like Before Stonewall: The Makg of a Gay and Lbian Communy and Forbidn Love: The Unashamed Stori of Lbian Liv offer not jt potent history lsons but snapshots of how Amerins were nceivg of their own muny-buildg the years followg the 1969 Stonewall rts.
