Screening of The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert
Join the Maplewood Film Society and the Maplewood Division of Arts and Culture for a sequin-filled night celebrating National Coming Out Day with a screening of The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.
Since its release in 1994, Priscilla has been recognized as a seminal queer film, one that celebrates drag performers as they reveal their true, authentic selves. Directed by Stephen Elliot and starring the late-great Terence Stamp along with Hugo Weaving (The Matrix, Lord of the Rings) and Guy Pearce (The Brutalist). it's an action, glitter and disco-filled road-trip that celebrates the Dancing Queens in us all.
