“It’s like John Waters and camp. A lot of people would be like—’this is trash’. And he’s like, I know!”
— Chappell Roan

“Where do these people come from? Where do they go when the sun goes down? Isn’t there a law or something?”
— Rex Reed

Incest!

Cannibalism!

Heart-warming homicide!

Join us as we flagrantly re-expose the good people of Buffalo to the most notorious midnight movie of all time: John Waters’s 1972 PINK FLAMINGOS, gratuitously restored in 4K.

It’s the best-looking filth you’ll ever see!

John Waters made bad taste perversely transcendent with the forever shocking counterculture sensation Pink Flamingos, his most infamous and daring cinematic transgression.

Outré diva Divine is iconic as the wanted criminal hiding out with her family of degenerates in a trailer outside Baltimore while reveling in her tabloid notoriety as the “Filthiest Person Alive.” When a pair of sociopaths (Mink Stole and David Lochary) with a habit of kidnapping women in order to impregnate them attempt to challenge her title, Divine resolves to show them and the world the true meaning of the word “filth.”

Bad taste and film history’s most legendary gross-out ending—Waters and his merry band of Dreamlanders leave no taboo unsmashed in this gleefully subversive ode to outsiderhood, in which camp spectacle and pitch-black satire are wielded in an all-out assault on respectability.
