THE OUTFEST LEGACY PROJECT SCREENING SERIES @ UCLA
The Outfest Legacy Project for LGBT Film Preservation is a collaboration between Outfest and the UCLA Film & Television Archive to preserve and restore LGBT film and video. The UCLA Film & Television Archive will screen prints bimonthly from this valuable and unique collection.
UPCOMING LEGACY PROJECT EVENTS
From the late 1960s through the 1970s, activist and filmmaker Pat Rocco mastered the art of gay male erotic films. His work developed beyond the nudie cutie into thoughtful and at times dramatic glimpses into gay life of that era. Many of these non-pornographic romps and love stories debuted at Los Angeles’ Park Theatre. Rocco also shot extensive footage of gay demonstrations, parades, marches and festivals. These documentaries contain some of the only existing footage of the beginnings of the gay rights movement in the United States. Please join Christopher Street West, the Echo Park Film Center, Los Angeles Filmforum, the One National Gay & Lesbian Archives, Outfest and the UCLA Film & Television Archive as we host a unique salute to this LGBT legend with screenings of Rocco classics.
