Cinematheque/Midnight Madness - A Homage to John Waters

Our Tribute to the "The pope of trash”. From art house auteur to his mainstream success on Broadway, the long strange trip of John Waters started out humbly enough – creating 8mm Masterworks using his friends to act out the most vile and heinous acts ever caught on screen.

Mr. Waters (with his Muse, the incredible Divine) took low budget moviemaking to new heights (and depths), creating works that are uniquely America (and borderline pornographic).

His mainstream success of the late 80’s – early 90’s captured an irreverent, nostalgic take on 1950’s – 1960’s suburban Baltimore. Though the subject matter toned down a bit, he never compromised his overriding theme - the unlikely hero (an outsider) overcoming great odds to find happiness and success.
