About This Movie

Agnus Gay offers a raw and unfiltered glimpse into the vibrant atmosphere of the first São Paulo LGBTQ Pride Parade. Shot in '97, it captures both the jubilance and the struggles of the community, right on Avenida Paulista. You can feel the energy, the hope, and the resolve of those who took to the streets that day. The pacing ebbs and flows with the rhythms of the parade, often slowing down to showcase intimate moments amidst the larger crowd dynamics. It’s fascinating to see how something so grassroots evolved into what’s now the biggest pride parade in the world. The practical effects here aren't flashy; they’re the real emotions of people reclaiming their identity and space in a public setting.
