Exhumed Films and The Mahoning Drive-In are bringing John Waters to the lot! The upcoming three-day festival will feature six filthy films from Waters’ filmography, plus a secret bonus feature curated by John himself. All features will be shown on 35mm, and best of all… John Waters will grace the drive-in in the flesh, providing live on-site commentary and nightly Q&A sessions. It’s a deranged party, and in addition to screenings with Waters, fans will also have the chance to partake in costume contests, games like the Dirty Shame Bottle Race and Pecker’s Pics Photo Contest, prizes, and extensive merch. The VIP Package includes a special photo op with John and rare signed memorabilia.
It’s all going down September 29 – October 1 at the legendary Mahoning Drive-In. Get your tickets right here and check out more from the press release below.
John Waters will grace the drive-in lot with his irreverent presence, providing live, on-site commentary and engaging in a sure-to-shock Q&A session each night. Listen in as John reveals behind-the-scenes anecdotes, spills cinematic secrets, and shares his unique insights into the world of underground filmmaking.
And like all Exhumed/Mahoning events, there will be classic 35mm trailers, huge raffles each night, live DJs and lots of other surprises.
So gather your friends, pack your barf bag, and get ready to embark on a wild journey into the twisted mind of John Waters. Experience the unhinged beauty of his films, soak in the infectious energy of his presence, and revel in the spirit of anarchy that oozes out of every frame! For fans of transgressive cinema, the “John Waters Filthy Film Festival” is not to be missed!
