A vulgar-queer, early aughts, zero budget, campy movie night! If John Waters or Gregg Araki offend you, turn back now! Obscenity! Hours of shouted, ham-fisted dialog! Pirates! Radical leftist propaganda! Sex and more sex! And, of course, love <3
Don’t be placated by hollywood’s assimilationist, rainbow-washed snoozers! Come watch filth, by actual filthy gays! Bring a Grindr date! Bring your queer platonic (no homo) soul mate!
7:00 PM – GIRL KING (2002): Drag Kings and gender deviants set sail to recover their Queen’s lost Koilos, the key to pleasure and harmony throughout her land. Shot on MiniDV, spliced with ~reclaimed~ footage, and cast and crewed only by those who “know the culture,” Ileana Pietrobruno ‘s erotic pirate romance is itself a treasure that was sorely missing from the sapphic canon.
9:00 PM - THE RASPBERRY REICH (2004): Simultaneously celebratory and hilariously satirical, Bruce LaBruce tells the story of a left wing cell continuing in the footsteps of the Red Army Faction, which according to their leader, means, first and foremost, (homo)sexual revolution. Put your Marxism where your mouth is!
