One Summer in New Paltz, a Cautionary Tale + Campillo Yes, I do
Two films about grassroots organising, civil disobedience and same sex weddings in small towns.
One Summer in New Paltz, a Cautionary Tale
In 2005, George W. Bush called for an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to enshrine a heterosexual definition of marriage. The mayor of New Paltz however didn’t agree and performed 26 gay weddings one sunny afternoon, beginning a wave of civil disobedience. Whether you are the marrying type or not, only the hardest of hearts could fail to be moved by this clever and touching film about love, commitment and pissing off George Bush.

Campillo Yes, I do
When same sex marriages became legal in Spain in 2005, many mayors refused to perform them but the gay mayor of Campillo, a remote mountain village of 50 inhabitants, said "I do!" Stunningly beautiful, quirky and moving, this is a year in the life of the new gay wedding capital of Spain.
