Summer Film Series: 40th Anniversary of Stonewall

We are the Stonewall girls,
we wear our hair in curls!
We wear no underwear,
we show our pubic hair!
We wear our dungarees,
above our nelly knees!

This June the Bridge commemorates the riots that took place at the Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village on June 28, 1969. The “Stonewall Riots” that erupted in response to a police raid, were the first instance of violent opposition to the government-sponsored repression of homosexuality in the United States.

Join us for series of films dealing with this foundational event in the Gay and Lesbian Rights Movement, including two short works by Barbara Hammer, other selections by gay and lesbian filmmakers, some archival material dealing with public perception of homosexuals at the time, and some short excerpts from popular films.
