Daddies (2014)

There is always the first time you are called Daddy. It's more than just a question of age. Leather Daddies, Daddy Bears and Daddies that don't fit into the usual categories. Ten gay men over forties were filmed on Super 8 getting undressed... They talk about their Daddy identity, gay relationships, polyamory, their cock and appetite for sex. Monogamy and open relationships co-exist in San Francisco as they do everywhere, but nowhere else has so many polyamorous men, men who embrace multiple love in their own personal way within the community. It is not just Daddy/Son, there are also guys in a number of relationships, or men in triads or foursomes. Antonio Da Silva was in town for the first time to attend Frameline San Francisco LGBT film festival 2013. By the second day of the festival, it became clear to him that he had to shoot some of the men who were filling the iconic Castro cinema and celebrating the final overturn of Proposition 8, the ban on same-sex marriage.
