The Vito Project Queer Film Club presents DRESSED TO THRILL season at The Cinema Museum (08 FEB to 04 JUN 2023)
Following the success of their last sold-out season on Classic Hollywood ‘Camp’, The Vito Project returns with a new season, DRESSED TO THRILL, at the iconic Cinema Museum (08 FEB to 04 JUN 2023).
Submitted by The Vito Project Queer Film Club
DRESSED TO THRILL: A SERIES OF FILMS EXPLORING DRESS CODE AND GENDER EXPRESSION presented by The Vito Project Queer Film Club at The Cinema Museum (08 FEB to 04 JUN 2023).
DRESSED TO THRILL: A SERIES OF FILMS EXPLORING DRESS CODE AND GENDER EXPRESSION celebrates characters that use dress as a means to subvert gender and societal rules. The programme will journey through different decades and countries to explore narratives that defy, confront, or expose gender expectations.
The Vito Project invites you to dress to impress, open the celluloid closet, and marvel at a line-up of magnificent misfits – be they anarchic, playful, detestable, or absolutely fabulous.
This new season serves you a slate of classic favourites and rarely screened films, including titles never seen in the UK. After the sold-out Autumn/Winter season, book your tickets in advance to make sure you are not caught with your pants down!
