Honey, stick around after the show; lip synch for your life to win prizes!
Join us for John Waters’ notorious 1972 cult classic, starring the inimitable Divine as a self-proclaimed queen of filth competing in a grotesque rivalry for the title of “the filthiest person alive.” Waters uses camp, drag, and excess to expose the hypocrisy of moral respectability and the performative nature of celebrity. Outrageous, rebellious, and defiantly disgusting, Pink Flamingos, part of Waters’ Trash Trilogy, remains a radical statement and an important chapter in movie history. In 2021, the Library of Congress selected “Pink Flamingos” for preservation in the US National Film Registry for being “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.”
Lip Sync for your life! Sign up for our Lip Sync battle before the movie and then join us on stage after the movie to compete for prizes! Hosted by Drag Queens Gretchen Sanity and Very Gerry. Plus, enjoy a cocktail and dress as Divine as you dare or your finest drag attire!
Rated NC-17. This 35mm presentation is part of the I. Joseph Hyatt Classic Film Series.
