ABOUT–
¡VIVA 16!
This film celebrates the emergence of a queer Latinx community in San Francisco. Using interviews and footage shot directly in queer Latinx spaces, Valentin Aguirre and Augie Robles premiered this short documentary (27.5 minutes) in 1994. From Esta Noche, to La India Bonita, to AIDS activists ¡VIVA 16! bears witness to a resilient world of queer latinidad in and around 16th Street before the onslaught of gentrification.

STILL HERE
Still Here San Francisco amplifies the voices and experiences of Queer/LGBTQI people raised in San Francisco. Still Here disrupts the assumption that everyone in San Francisco is from somewhere else and exposes essential narratives about coming out, loss, HIV/AIDS, class and economic disparity, and the meaning of home and family in a “gay mecca.” By sharing their San Francisco stories, Still Here’s artists re-imagine, re-invent, and re-examine San Francisco’s (queer) history and remind us that they are steadily “Still Here.”
