John Waters Fest 2018

Overview

How do you show your love for your favourite filmmaker, particularly when the director in question is none other than John Waters? Sure, you could watch a stack of DVDs in the comfort of your own home. Or, you could head to Brisbane's one and only John Waters Fest.

Returning for its third year, expect the kind of fun-filled screenings only cult cinema guru Kristian Fletcher could've thought of. And expect to enjoy the experience in a concentrated block, with the fest taking place on April 11.

It all starts with Female Trouble. That's the name of the film, aka one of Waters' Divine-starring flicks, and also a fitting description of antics that ensue. Follow it up with Desperate Living, which involves murder, maids and mayhem — and enjoy two of the director's features that don't regularly show on the big screen.
