Pride Film Night
June 15, 2023 @ 6:00 pm – 10:00 pm MDT
Pride Film Night presents –
‘Superstar: The Life and Times of Andy Warhol’ and ‘To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar
Join us on June 15 for a special Pride screening of two iconic films: Superstar: The Life and Times of Andy Warhol and camp classic To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar. We will be screening both films in our Ledcor Theatre. Watch either film for $10 or both films for $15. Members to the AGA are Free. This Pride Screening is part of the AGA’s programming celebrating Pride Month for the LGBTQ2SIA* community. We are also featuring a biographical film about Andy Warhol in recognition of our new exhibition From Warhol to Banksy.
6pm | Superstar: The Life and Times of Andy Warhol
A look at the life, work, and impact of Andy Warhol (1928-1987), pop icon and artist, from his childhood in Pittsburgh to his surprising death. Warhol coined the word “superstar,” became one, and changed the way the culture looks at and understands celebrity.
8pm | To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar
This film is a 1995 American road comedy film directed by Beeban Kidron and starring Wesley Snipes, Patrick Swayze, and John Leguizamo as three New York City drag queens who embark on a road trip.
Please note: These films are for mature audiences and contain scenes of drug use, brief nudity, discriminatory language and violence. Please note that these films are a product of their time, both being released in the 90s. Some language used to describe the LGBTQ2SIA* is now considered out of date. As one of the first Hollywood films about the Drag Community, To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar is a camp classic, but it’s important to also be aware that this representation is out of date and is flawed. Our audience is asked to be mindful of this when watching the film. There is no food or drink in the theatre, but we do allow bottled water.
About Film Night: Film Night is part of AGA’s public programming that highlights themes from current exhibitions or social and cultural affairs.
