Pat Rocco Dared – Fil Festival Trailer – FESCH.TV

FESCH.TV INFORMIERT:

Rocco began selling his erotic, playful and romantic nude male films in the backs of
local magazines and in 1968, he was offered his own festival at Los Angeles’ Park
Theatre – the first of its kind. It was an instant hit and Rocco continued to pump out
more films as fast as he could, pushing new boundaries with each one. In “A Very
Special Friend”, Rocco dared to screen the first kiss between two men ever seen on a
big theatre screen. Artistic, erotic, and highly romanticized, his films were
controversial not due to how explicit they were but rather their bold political and
artistic expression. For the first time ever, selections from his most popular films have been digitally remastered and are showcased in spectacular fashion in “Pat Rocco Dared”.

Pat Rocco’s life story is told through his colourful, erotic films, and with candid personal interviews with Charlie David at Pat’s home in Hawaii as well as with friends such as Phyllis Diller, Reverend Troy Perry and film historian Whitney Strub. „Don’t ask, don’t tell, just do
it,“ Rocco advises Charlie in one of their final exchanges.
