. this offers a 13 - minute , 51 - second compilation of audio and video pieces that feature the real milk . these include “out of the bars and into the streets” ( audio , 13 : 51 ) , “texas gay conference five” ( audio , 47 : 34 ) , “harvey milk speaks out” ( video , 2 : 45 ) , “anti - proposition 6 election night party” ( audio , 10 : 04 ) and “harvey milk’s political will” ( audio , 13 : 18 ) . all of these offer a good snapshot of the real milk , though “will” is the most chilling , as it’s one example of the recordings milk made to be played if he was assassinated .

i had already started the project before harvey was killed . i started to do a film about the briggs initiative — proposition 6 — for the very reasons we were just talking about . that’s what i was interested in , that fight , which was new then , and then it all became embodied in harvey’s story . that was all part of it , which is why i ended up doing a film that was more about the times , and showing harvey as a man of history – that particular history – than a biopic documentary .

celebrate and educate : dear harvey , a play based on interviews with people who knew harvey milk , is available royalty - free for educational use or to raise funds for local lgbtqi support organizations . the script has been screened by middle and high school

a public vigil is scheduled for 7 : 30 p . m . at harvey milk park at 212 e . 3rd st . in long beach .

once elected , milk left the task of street organization to his grassroots team , who would lead marches to city hall , where milk would emerge to calm down the crowd .

all of this adds up to a crisp , compelling documentary . i would like a longer version of times that embraces a broader scope , but i can’t complain about the film we get . it develops a good portrait of an important time in american civil rights .

mr . salzman held up a small brass bell decorated with engraved leaves , the same bell that has been marking class changes for harvey milk students since the school ' s inception .

consider , too , the title : not just a phrase , it’s a clue to the film’s deepest meanings and qualities . the times of harvey milk works its magic upon the viewer by reaching beyond the limits of biography . made acutely aware of their mission by the events to which the film bears witness—the birth of a gay and lesbian community , assassination , a grief - soaked outpouring of monumental remembrance , a miscarriage of justice , reactive rage , and later reflection—the filmmakers offer up a portrait of a time and a place , not just a man . and they enshrine a people who responded to tragedy with a sublime collectivity that continues to resonate across the decades .

the film opens with acting mayor dianne feinstein breaking the news to the assembled press outside city hall that mayor george moscone and harvey milk had both been shot and killed by city supervisor dan white .

the commentary becomes a smidgen dry at times , but it usually provides an interesting examination of the film . while the aspects related to the movie’s creation and assembly are good , the track works the best when it gets into the participants’ views on milk and the era in which he worked . those personal moments give the commentary an emotional tone that allows it to become more compelling than many .

jones pointed to the " wholesale changes " in local government as an aspect of milk ' s legacy - " from the composition of the police department to the presence of gay and lesbian people at all levels of decision making . "

so while sean penn makes for a fine harvey milk in gus van sant ' s biopic , even that gifted an actor can ' t project the same power and presence of the person he mimics . it ' s quite something to hear this piece of milk rhetoric , cadence and message perfectly pitched to work the crowd :

it was from the castro that milk ran for office and was defeated three times before finally winning in the same election that placed the first chinese - american , the first black woman and the first avowed feminist on the board . milk was a master at self - promotion , and the movie includes vintage tv news footage showing him campaigning on such issues as " doggy - do , " and stepping , with perfect timing , into a strategically placed pile of same at the climax of the interview .

the times of harvey milk is a fascinating and enormously moving look at a man and a movement , and at an important era in both san francisco and lgbt history . it also serves as a reminder of just how far the cause of lgbt rights has come . for instance , a tv news reporter blithely prefaces a question to milk with , " some straights are concerned maybe the gays are taking over san francisco . " at a kqed debate over proposition 6 , with milk and gearhart facing off against state senator briggs , briggs claims the banishment of gay teachers would cut down on child molestation . milk informs him the data shows no correlation between that category of crime and sexual orientation . briggs insists : " we should cut out the homosexual group " to lessen the odds . this prompts milk to laugh ; he is genuinely amused at the man ' s tortured math in the service of bigotry .

kronenberg had been working in the women ' s movement when milk hired her .

gus van sant first visited san francisco in the 1970s . he came to visit a friend and never met harvey milk . by the time he returned in 1985 , it was as a triumph : on stage at the castro theatre , he introduced his debut feature , mala noche , to the audience of frameline ' s gay and lesbian film festival . " that was my introduction , " recalls van sant . " it was when i met everyone . " above all , it was when he met local film - maker rob epstein , who had just won an academy award for his documentary masterpiece , the times of harvey milk . ever since , it seems , van sant has been haunted by the idea of making a dramatic film about milk .

the very first educational partnership of the foundation was with the play , “dear harvey – stories of harvey milk” written by patty loughery and commissioned by the diversionary theatre , the foundation and play write have partnered to provide the play to schools , universities , and community organizations throughout the us . work is in progress to have the play translated into spanish and italian and the play has been performed at the kennedy center in washington , dc as well as new york city’s fringe festival .

harvey milk , the first openly gay elected official in united states history , had been serving on san francisco ' s board of supervisors only 11 months when he , along with mayor george moscone , was assassinated in 1978 by dan white , a fellow supervisor disillusioned with the constant compromise of city politics and an opponent on gay - rights issues . harvey milk interweaves newsreel footage and personal interviews to construct a compelling portrait of these turbulent times : milk ' s rise to prominence in the castro ; moscone ' s emphasis on neighborhoods and the subsequent redistricting that allowed milk to be elected ; his successful fight against senator john briggs ' s inflammatory proposition 6 ; the assassination ; white ' s trial ; and its violent aftermath . the most moving images depict the massive but reverential candlelight march that followed the shootings , a sharp contrast to the riots after white ' s infamous twinkies - defense trial .

* * * * * in san francisco today , there’s a bust of harvey milk in the second - floor rotunda of city hall . in 2008 , when gay marriage became ( briefly ) legal and the demand far outstripped the capacity of the building’s official facilities for civil ceremonies , getting married with harvey became the favorite choice . from may to november , thousands of couples mounted those stairs and posed for photos . when sean penn insisted he’d star in milk only if it were shot in san francisco , and gus van sant happily agreed , the streets of the castro became a simulacrum of the 1970s , and survivors of those days came to pay homage and to march again for the cameras .

while protest rallies and grassroots movements were key tactics in milk’s campaign , at the core of his strategy was improving the lives of his constituents , even if that meant solving the basic problems of urban dwellers . for example , milk openly acknowledged that “whoever can solve the dogshit problem [ in the city ] can be elected mayor of san francisco , even president of the united states . ”

and then there was the grieving , after milk and moscone ' s deaths , and the concurrent tragedy of the jonestown massacre that left hundreds of bay area people dead in the fall of ' 78 , with the aids crisis soon to come .

epstein will be present for a screening of his documentary on tuesday , january 10 at the museum of the moving image ; the honors lunch takes place the following day . milk’s life also served as the basis of gus van sant’s 2008 biopic “milk , ” which starred sean penn in the title role alongside james franco and josh brolin .

in 1977 , san francisco politics was taken by storm when gay rights activist harvey milk was elected to the board of supervisors . as the first openly gay man elected to public office in the united states , milk’s election was a triumph over anti - gay stereotypes . milk’s ability to mobilize gays and straights alike resulted in the defeat of a statewide proposition to severely limit gays’ employment rights . though milk was assassinated 11 months after he was elected to office , his legacy of fighting for gay rights has inspired a new generation of civic activists across the united states , fighting for sexual equality and the expansion of civil liberties for gays and lesbians .

as documentary forms mutate amid the rush of new technologies and social networks of this millennium , the times of harvey milk endures . it has never stopped showing : in movie theaters , festivals , and every consumer format that comes along . for one thing , it holds its status as the gold standard in how to structure documentary narrative to capture the essence of a man , a community , and a moment in time . but it is also a film that continues to reinvent itself , as new publics drill ever deeper into its sedimental layers of history , mystery , and emotional power to find new inspiration .

people are still shocked by the whole trial , the results and the twinkie defense — that’s still stunning people who are unfamiliar with it . people react to the film on different levels , but certainly i think the primary response to the film is that , up until now , it’s where harvey milk has lived . for the past 20 years he’s lived in the documentary , and that’s continued for generations who weren’t familiar with the story . now , with “milk , ” there’s a whole other level of harvey’s story that will get out there , because “milk” is a much more personal film , in a way .

the foundation provided speakers and capacity building program offerings are one of the most effective and popular methods of public education and collaborative practices based on the legacy of harvey milk with its ability to support local , regional and national human rights efforts . stuart milk and anne kronenberg have supplied presidents , governors , ambassadors , schools , universities , businesses , government entities , labor unions , community - based groups , and other organizations with a personal link to harvey the man and the leader , while lending contemporary meaning to his core beliefs and values .

addition : criterion region ' a ' blu - ray : march 2011 : firstly , this criterion blu - ray is described as a " director - approved digital transfer , from the ucla film and television archive restoration " and although the times of harvey milk is filled with imperfect vintage news clips of inferior quality is a wonderful example of the difference between sd vs . hd quality . the blu - ray image has thick , textured grain and colors are rich and full unlike the flatter , and boosted , dvd appearance . it is a pretty dramatic difference visually .

harvey milk believed that government should represent individuals , not just downtown interests , and should insure equality for all citizens while providing needed services . he spoke for the participation of lgbt people and other minorities in the political process . the more gay people came out of the closet , he believed , the more their families and friends would support protections for their equal rights . in the years since milk’s assassination , public opinion has shifted on gay marriage , gays in the military , and other issues , and there have been hundreds of openly lgbt public officials in america , yet the work continues . the harvey milk foundation , established by his nephew , stuart milk , and anne kronenberg , his campaign manager and aide , is dedicated to realizing his vision of equality and authenticity for everyone , everywhere .

it was in that mood that the crowd migrated to city hall , where harvey milk and mayor george moscone had been murdered in 1978 , but where , in 2008 , nearly 18 , 000 gay and lesbian couples had been married - often choosing to say their vows in the upstairs rotunda where a bust of harvey milk presided over the ceremonies . city hall ' s cavernous chambers were transformed for the evening into a high - fashion , cannes - style premiere party .

after losing his first three campaigns , milk was elected supervisor of the city of san francisco in 1977 , and as the first openly gay man elected to public office in the united states , harvey milk had already reached a milestone in the fight for gay rights . however , for milk , winning the election , while monumental , was just the first step in his plan to promote gay rights and equality . milk sought not only to change the stereotypes that existed about gays , but to also promote a legal framework that supports gays , including the passage of a gay rights bill , and speaking out against a barrage of legislation which would restrict gays’ civil and political liberties .

harvey milk’s groundbreaking political career made him a symbol for a whole community but his success was built slowly and with the help of a network of adept and loyal friends and colleagues . as gus van sant’s new film milk shows , milk’s partner scott smith was a pivotal figure as he established himself as a prominent figure in the castro and later on cleve jones and anne kronenberg were energetically joined his fight to have their voices heard .

there is a lot of footage of milk , moscone and white ( who disapproved of homosexuals but was naive enough to once suggest that the issue be settled by a softball game between his ward and milk ' s ward ) . it is intercut with later interviews with many of milk ' s friends , including a veteran leftist who admits that he was prejudiced against gays for a long time , until he met milk and began to understand the political issues involved .

it features a photo of milk , a jew and member of the san francisco board of supervisors , taken in 1977 , the year he made history when he became the first openly gay elected official from a major city in the united states .

harvey milk ' s political career and the victory it represented for san francisco ' s homosexual community is contrasted with the first stirrings of the moral majority , stirrings to which mr . white was especially responsive . the film examines the controversy surrounding proposition 6 , the proposed california ordinance barring homosexuals from teaching in public schools , an issue on which mr . milk and mr . white were sharply divided .

" harvey got me to put aside the revolutionary radical silliness , honestly , and be more practical , " jones said . " at that point in my life , i was very heterophobic . i was one of those people who was building the ghetto walls to keep everyone else out . i thank god i met harvey milk and was able to learn from him . "

berger recalled that milk was one of several ualbany graduates from his class who received commissions in the navy after they finished college .

anne kronenberg had seen " milk " for the first time the night before , and she was still reeling .

there is a chinese - american who parallels his own radicalization with milk ' s . and there is immensely moving , emotional footage of the two demonstrations inspired by the deaths of milk and moscone : a silent , candlelight parade of 45 , 000 people on the night of their deaths , and an angry night of rioting when white got what was perceived as a lenient sentence .

a true twentieth - century trailblazer , harvey milk was an outspoken human rights activist and one of the first openly gay u . s . politicians elected to public office ; even after his assassination in 1978 , he continues to inspire disenfranchised people around the world .

then , the film started and silence descended , as the audience began to realise what a house of mirrors we had entered . as sean penn brilliantly disappeared into the body , voice and mannerisms of harvey milk , it got harder and harder to separate the world on the screen from the one we lived in . and when the film ended and the credits rolled , there could be no exit : we left the theatre only to enter the same streets we ' d been watching inside , just moments ago . harvey and his beautiful boys were gone , though : milk , to an assassin ' s bullet ; his legions of friends and lovers and followers to the scourge of aids , a disease unknown in his time . that is one of the many wonders of van sant ' s film : the 1970s were a world before aids , a window of time between the wonders of gay liberation and the horrors of the epidemic . that ' s part of the attenuated pleasure of the film : nobody knows that harvey is about to die , though he himself has premonitions ; nobody knows that they themselves will follow , with no assassin to put on trial . it ' s a world that disappeared .
