To my mind, the most prominent gay filmmaker at the time was Kenneth Anger. Trying to re-imagine the mid- to late-1970s landscape of lesbian/gay experimental film as seen by a student at the San Francisco Art Institute seems like an archeological dig through my sand-covered memory.

In 1974, when I was first deciding that I actually could become a filmmaker, experimental filmmakers provided the only role models available for being an openly gay filmmaker. 41 (Fall 2003) Lesbian and Gay Experimental Cinema/Stan Brakhage Remembrances
