The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert

JBFC Annual Pride Parking Lot Party from 5:00–7:00 before the film

Ticket price includes free entry to the annual JBFC Pride parking lot party—with food-trucks, a bar, a DJ, and drag queens. 5.00–7.00 pm Media Arts Lab parking lot (405 Manville Rd)

Join us as we kick off our Pride series with this fabulously queer Oscar winning roadtrip movie featuring two drag queens and a trans woman as they venture across Australia in their trusty bus – Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. Starring Guy Pearce (The Brutalist, LA Confidential), Terence Stamp (Superman II), and Hugo Weaving (The Matrix), expect Abba, sequins, and a whole lotta heart from this big, beautiful movie. The screening will be introduced by JBFC Pride Series Curator Chris Holliday.

"It's a tremendous film that was ahead of its time on LGBT issues and, in some ways, is ahead of ours."
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
