South Street Seaport Museum and the LGBTQ+ sailing club Knickerbocker Sailing Association will host a free film screening of Pride from Above, held at Pier 17 on July 26, at 6:30pm.
Pride from Above is a one-hour aerial journey across the globe created by National Geographic to give a spectacular view of LGBTQ+ Pride as it's never been seen before. Take in the sights captured by flying cameras that soared above New York's 2022 Rainbows on the Hudson sail, where rainbow flags sail across the Hudson River, see how the spirit of Pride manifests on the streets of Reykjavik, Iceland, and much more.
The evening will be introduced by James Weichert, the Captain of KSA, and will conclude with a toast and Q&A with Weichert who is featured in the film.
Registration is encouraged for this free event but walk ups will be accommodated as possible. A complimentary toast will follow the presentation. seaportmuseum.org/pride-from-above
