For Pride Month, Funeral Parade Queer Film Society is proud to present The Times of Harvey Milk, Rob Epstein’s powerful portrait of a pioneering gay politician and a tireless advocate for LGBTQ rights. 

Released six years after Harvey Milk’s assassination, this documentary charts Milk’s path from the honorary “mayor” of San Francisco’s predominantly gay Castro District to his historic election as a city supervisor in 1977. During his eleven months in office, Milk successfully lobbied for bans on discrimination in housing and employment, making him an icon of the gay rights movement. The film also documents Milk’s untimely death, the aftermath of his murder, and the miscarriage of justice that was the trial of Dan White, Milk’s killer. The Times of Harvey Milk is sensitive, celebratory, and righteously angry – an all too relevant call to organise, build solidarity, and stand tall in the face of bigotry and oppression.

A lottery win leads not to financial and emotional freedom but to social captivity, in this wildly cynical classic about love and exploitation by Rainer Werner Fassbinder. Casting himself against type, the director plays a suggestible working-class innocent who lets himself be taken advantage of by his bourgeois new boyfriend and his circle of materialistic friends, leading to the kind of resonant misery that only Fassbinder could create. Fox and His Friends is unsparing social commentary, an amusingly pitiless and groundbreaking if controversial depiction of a gay community in 1970s West Germany.
