Queer Cinema: Lost & Found

There are no current or future screenings planned for this film.

“It finally happened. Someone set out to make an entertaining movie, and ended up with the most fantastic pro-drag propaganda filmed to date.”
Drag

“Positive, life-affirming — a party, and moviegoers are invited to bring their noisemakers and enjoy the fun.”
Collider

A gay hairdresser tries to turn his love of old Hollywood movies into a career in drag with the help of his schizophrenic best friend in this underseen (and semi-autobiographical) Canadian classic starring drag legend Craig Russell … and Judy Garland, Mae West, Bette Davis, and more! Paired with THE DECLINE OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION filmmaker Penelope Spheeris’s rare, early short I DON’T KNOW. The short’s sequel, HATS OFF TO HOLLYWOOD, screens in February. Queer Cinema: Lost & Found programmer Elizabeth Purchell will join us for a discussion after the screening on Saturday, January 28.
