Synopsis
While waiting for her divorce papers, a repressed literature professor finds herself unexpectedly attracted by a carefree, spirited young woman named Cay.

"I wanted to make a lesbian love story that did not end in a bisexual triangle or death... I made the movie I wanted to see." Dir. Donna Deitch
“Reno offered more than just a legal escape; it provided an entire experience of liberation and renewal amid the stunning desert landscapes of Nevada.” - slovenskylaw.com

Mississippi Masala (1992) – Palestine Fundraiser
25-07-2025 at 19:30
Certificate:
Synopsis
Mississippi Masala (1991) Set in 1972 and 1990, Mississippi Masala (1991) is a tale of a Ugandan Indian family expelled from their home by the military dictator Idi Amin, interwoven with an interracial love story set against the backdrop of 90's Mississippi. It's sexy, it's gorgeous, it's emotional, it's fun, it's the basis for progressive NY mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani's (specious) nepo baby allegations! 🤪 We weren’t very familiar with Mira Nair’s extensive body of work before watching the NY election, and have been diving in - after watching this movie we knew we had to put it on the PEPCOT big screen.
Starring Sarita Choudhury and Denzel Washington, directed by Mira Nair.

Scarecrow in a Garden of Cucumbers (1972) - Piehouse Co-op Fundraiser
21-08-2025 at 19:30
Certificate:
Synopsis
“Eternal trans icon (and Warhol superstar) Holly Woodlawn is a riot in SCARECROW IN A GARDEN OF CUCUMBERS—a long-lost comedy musical that has been lovingly restored by the Academy Film Archive. Holly stars as a small-town Kansas girl who tries to make it big—or at least find a roommate—in New York City. One of the first features with a trans lead, this joyous valentine to individuality features a supporting role from Warhol scenester Tally Brown and cameos from Bette Midler and Lily Tomlin.” - American Genre Film Association. Restoration courtesy of the Academy Film Archive and the American Genre Film Archive.
Holly Woodlawn's comedic timing and physical humor is so magnetic, you can literally feel this movies impact on John Waters. It's zany and wild and extremely 70's. <3 <3
