Gay USA: Snapshots of 1970s LGBT Resistance 2024

Stepping out of the sixties and in the wake of the Stonewall Riots, (considered the birth of the modern LGBTQIA+ liberation movement), the 1970s would prove to be a decade energized by queer activism, political and social change and pride. Celebrating such a vitally important legacy, this collection of gay protest and parade films is an essential multifaceted document of a period of revolution and jubilation.

A Summer in the Cage 2007 (5)

"A Summer in the Cage" is filmmaker Ben Selkow's feature-length documentary chronicling his friend Sam's battle with manic-depressive illness, also known as bipolar disorder. The film follows Sam for seven years as he suffers delusional manic episodes, battles paralyzing depressions, and tries to escape the legacy of his bipolar father who committed suicide when Sam was eight years old. By showing the difficult emotional impact of being bipolar on Sam, his family, all those who care about him and the filmmaker, "A Summer in the Cage" hopes to put a human face on an illness that affects millions of American families. But as this dramatic story unfolds and heads to an explosive standoff, it also becomes a unique tale about friendship and the ethical responsibilities of a documentary filmmaker.

Ricerche: four N/A

Ricerche: four is the last in a decade-spanning series of works by Sharon Hayes focusing on sexuality and gender in the United States. In each video, the artist asks probing questions of an assembled collective. Here, three groups of LGBTQIA elders reflect on their lives, loves, and identities. Hayes adopted her interview style and the name of the series from from the 1963 film, “Comizi d’Amore” (“Love Meetings”), in which the filmmaker Pier Paolo Pasolini moved across postwar Italy interviewing Italians about sex and sexuality, examining the shifting values of the period. Now, with similar moralistic undercurrents running through American culture, Haye’s video underscores the endurance of chosen community. Against the backdrop of the ongoing pandemic and the unfurling impact of social media, Haye’s work asks what it means to gather now [Whitney Musuem]
