Queer Cinema Club II: But I'm a Cheerleader

  • Paradise Theatre 1006 Bloor Street West Toronto, ON, M6H 1M2 Canada (map)

This month's edition will head to camp (in a few senses of the word) as we celebrate the modern cult classic that is Jamie Babbit's But I'm a Cheerleader. Starring Natasha Lyonne (Russian Doll) as a lesbian high school cheerleader whose parents send her to a conversion therapy camp, the film is sharp, hilarious satire that was wildly ahead of its time when it was released in 2000. It also features an epic supporting cast including Clea DuVall, Melanie Lynskey, Cathy Moriarty, Michelle Williams, Julie Delpy and RuPaul Charles himself.

The film will be preceded by a Cheerleader-inspired performance by drag artist Weird Alice, and audience members are encouraged to dress up in their own "queerleader" drag, however they choose to interpret that.
