Attention, filth fanatics and cult movie enthusiasts! Get ready for a mind-blowing and gut-churning cinematic extravaganza like no other! The legendary John Waters, the Prince of Puke and the Duke of Dirt, is teaming up with Exhumed Films and The Mahoning Drive-In to bring you an unforgettable weekend of sleazy cinema!
On September 29, 30, and October 1, Exhumed and The Mahoning proudly present THE JOHN WATERS FILTHY FILM FESTIVAL! Join us as we celebrate the bizarre and subversive creations of John Waters, the mastermind behind cult classics such as "Pink Flamingos," "Female Trouble," and "Hairspray." Brace yourself as we dive into John Waters’ diverse filmography, showcasing six of his most outrageous and influential works–as well as a secret bonus feature curated by John himself–all shown on 35mm. Witness the unforgettable characters, the jaw-dropping moments, and the taboo-shattering narratives that have solidified Waters' status as a countercultural icon.
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. Fans lusting after the ultimate John Waters experience will even have the opportunity to purchase a VIP ticket package which will include a special photo op with John and rare signed memorabilia!
The Filthy Film Festival will also feature photo ops (by John Demmer), costume contests, games such as the Dirty Shame Bottle Race (Friday) & Pecker’s Pics Photo Contest (Saturday), prizes, and our extensive merch tables filled with t-shirts, Blu-Rays, and other assorted oddities. 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!
