Pink Flamingos (1972)

More info & tickets

Together with Fanclub Centrum, we invite a special Amsterdammer every two months to curate a film night. This time, especially for Pride, it's a double feature curated by DJ, producer, and organizer Joost van Bellen!

This screening is for the cult classic 'Pink Flamingos' by John Waters from 1972. The black comedy is full of extravagance, rebellion, and unparalleled eccentricity. Divine, as the self-proclaimed 'filthiest person alive,' takes on a rival duo who wants to steal her title. The film is known for its shocking and grotesque scenes, but beneath the provocation lies a celebration of freedom, individuality, and the breaking of all conventions. A daring, groundbreaking cult classic!

Please note: This screening is part of a double bill. The film 'Fucking Åmål' (1998) will be shown beforehand, for which separate tickets are required.
