(Rob Epstein, US 1984, 90 min.)
Harvey Fierstein narrates this documentary about San Francisco’s most colorful and unfortunately tragic political figure: Harvey Milk. A staunch fighter for gay rights, Milk helped forge a presence for the city’s gay community in city hall, becoming the first openly gay member of San Francisco’s combative city council. But his life, along with SF Mayor George Moscone’s, was cut short by infamous fellow politico Dan White. This story is the subject of Gus Van Sant’s upcoming feature, Milk, starring Sean Penn. A newly preserved 35mm print from the UCLA Television Archive will be screened. For ticket information on all ImageOut films, call (585) 271-2640 or visit www.imageout.org.
