Thursday, February 27 at 7:00 p.m.: Screening on 35mm with an introduction by programmers Elizabeth Purchell and KJ Shepherd!
Robin (Craig Russell) is a gay hairdresser who decides to try to make it as a drag queen at the urging of his schizophrenic best friend, Liza (Hollis McLaren). But as Robin’s new career begins to take off and he lands a residency at a leather bar in New York, Liza’s mental health begins to spiral as the result of a recent pregnancy from one of the many cab drivers she’s been sleeping with.
Both one of the first gay independent films to receive wide mainstream distribution and one of the most successful Canadian films ever made, the semi-autobiographical OUTRAGEOUS! is a hilarious and all-too-human drama and a tour-de-force showcase for Craig Russell, who was one of the most famous female impersonators of his era.
