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, Ireland’s National Television station.

In the 1960s, the iconic American folk singer Pete Seeger devised an extraordinary plan: he built a 106-foot sailboat to save the polluted Hudson River. Down by the Riverside follows the unlikely story of the Clearwater, a boat that launched a movement. Taking the audience on a musical and nautical odyssey, the film shows how an unconventional campaign to save a beloved American waterway prompted a green revolution. The tale of the Clearwater is a parable for our time, offering hope for a fractured nation and revealing how participatory imagination can solve environmental problems and transform how we relate not only to the earth but also to one another.

Down by the Riverside sold out the Bearsville Theater during its world premiere on the opening night at The Woodstock Film Festival. It went on to screen at festivals around the country, from the Berkshires to the California coast.
