Cult Classics with Venus Mantrap
Overview
Arc Cinema presents a series of irreverent Friday night filmic feasts, curated and hosted by drag artist and culture warrior Venus Mantrap.
Cult Classics with Venus Mantrap plumbs the archives to showcase cinema with bite: films that unnerve, push buttons, ask questions and just look good on the big screen! Gather your tribe of misfits and rowdy rebels and join Venus for edgy movies, fan favourites and hidden gems.
Each event features a pre-screening introduction and live performance by Venus Mantrap.
Upcoming screenings include:
The Fly (1986)
Eyes Wide Shut (1999)
Ghostbusters (1984) | 40th anniversary screening
The Terminator (1984) | 40th anniversary screening
