![QUEERCORE at Periwinkle Cinema on Wednesday!! [September 20, 8:00 pm, $7-$10] A documentary on Queercore, the cultural and social movement that began as an offshoot of punk and was distinguished by its discontent with society’s disapproval of the gay, bisexual, lesbian and transgender communities and many more. Encompassing a breadth of history and influence, #Queercore ends with a glimpse towards #RiotGrrl and artists like Peaches and The Gossip, who, inspired by queercore legacy, were next to take the stage. Underscoring the interviews are clips from movies, zines, concerts, and actions iconic
to the movement. As steeped in the radical queer, anti-capitalist, DIY, and give-no- fucks approach as queercore itself, the movie reveals the perspectives and experiences of bands, moviemakers, writers, and other outsiders, taking audiences inside the creation of the community—and art—so desperately needed by the same queers it encompassed. ~*~ Dir. Yony Leyser 83 min. *~* As always, #FREE #POPCORN, Raffle and door prizes! Snacks, alcoholic and non- alcoholic drinks will be available for purchase in our snack bar!Prioritized seating for people with disabilities and/or BYOC (bring your own chair).
