A quick 6 second shot of gay filmmaker Arthur J. Bressan, Jr. at the 1977 Gay Freedom Day parade in San Francisco during shooting for his pioneering documentary, Gay USA. Note the 16mm Bolex camera in his hands as he dashes ahead to get a shot — and his trademark black cap and short sleeve jean jacket. This clip was discovered amidst several reels of home movie footage of the parade.

The restored version of Gay USA is now available via Vimeo On Demand at the following link:
