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 fourth 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 from 6.30pm  Wednesday, April 17.

It all starts with Cecil B. Demented, aka Waters' 2000 black comedy starring Melanie Griffiths as a Hollywood A-lister who's kidnapped by terrorist filmmakers. Follow it up with A Dirty Shame, because everyone loves a satirical sex comedy — and enjoy two of the director's features that don't regularly show on the big screen.
