Brendan Fay, an Irish immigrant, gay rights activist, and New York luminary, spent years fighting the exclusion of LGBTQ groups from the New York City St. Patrick’s Day Parade. After countless protests and arrests, he founded the St. Pat’s For All Parade, a grassroots inclusive celebration in Sunnyside, Queens. In The Other Parade, we use archives to capture the history of the parade’s founding while following Brendan in real-time during the week leading up to the eighth annual parade.

The Other Parade screened at the Frameline Film Festival and was broadcast on RTÉ.

In the 1960s, the iconic American folk singer Pete Seeger devised an audacious plan—to build a sailboat to save the polluted Hudson River. But the Clearwater was not just a beautiful wooden vessel; it was also a movement, intersecting environmentalism, civil rights, and antiwar activism. An intimate portrait of Pete and the grassroots community he anchored in the Hudson Valley for over forty years with his wife Toshi, Down by the Riverside shows how an unconventional campaign to save a beloved American waterway prompted a green revolution.

Down by the Riverside premiered at The Woodstock Film Festival.
