Pat Rocco: We Were There (1976) [contains nudity]
Please note: this footage contains nudity. We Were There (1976), directed by Pat Rocco, is a look at the gay pride celebrations in San Francisco and Los Angeles in the United States bicentennial year of 1976. Pioneering activist and filmmaker Pat Rocco produced short-form gay erotica in the 1960s that was widely embraced by the gay community, and received positive reviews from the mainstream press. Rocco's prolific output of erotic films slowed in the early 1970s as market preferences shifted toward hardcore fare. In the late 1960s through the 1980s, Rocco shot historically important footage of gay demonstrations, parades, marches, festivals and events, providing some of the only existing moving image documentation of the major beginnings of the gay rights movement in the U.S.
