The Films of John Waters: June 14-18

Here they are, in all their audacious and gleefully shocking glory!

Special introductions by John Waters!!! – each of Mr. Waters’ features will be accompanied by a pre-recorded one-liner introduction by John Waters himself – specially made for Camp, Trash Filth – John Waters Visits Regina!

Door Prizes – tickets to Opening Night Screening and Reception; tickets to performances at Q NightClub; John Waters’ books; John Waters autographed movie posters and DVDs; event T-shirts and bags by Articulate Ink; Film Theatre and Dunlop Art Gallery swag.

Campy, Trashy and Filthy Canadian Contribution – In the spirit of homage, celebration, and all things campy, trashy and filthy – and of course Canadiana, whatever that may be – each of the John Waters’ films will be preceded by a mostly historical queer Canadian short film to get you in the mood and make you salivate for more.

Community Spirits – each of the features will be introduced by someone local and a lover of things campy, trashy and filthy.
