FILTH! A Camp Celebration of John Waters brings Edith Puthie’s drag-and-film series outside of its usual home for a special ChromaQueer edition celebrating the wonderfully strange, campy and transgressive world of John Waters.

For decades, John Waters has been an influential figure in queer and underground cinema, building a body of work that embraces camp, comedy, horror, shock, music, rebellion and characters who proudly exist outside social expectations.

His films have challenged ideas of respectability, beauty, gender, sexuality and good taste, making his work a natural fit for a night celebrating queer performance and alternative art. Come celebrate John Waters and local Ottawa drag.
