The Faggots & Their Friends Between Revolutions
Paul Rice
Essay : 40’ / Utopia, Activism, Community, Essay, Memory

A poetic cinematic envisioning of the legendary queer 1970s manifesto by Larry Mitchell and Ned Asta; resulting in a visual meditation on queerness, otherness, and quiet resistance. Set against the natural beauty of the San Francisco Bay Area, the film reinterprets the book’s characters as metaphor: “the faggots and their friends” are rendered through flowers, trees, and sky, while “the men” appear as cold, brutalist skyscrapers and machines.
