Join us for another film in the foyer at Deptford Library! To celebrate LGBT+ History Month, this month’s weekly film program will culminate in a special FREE screening of Jamie Babbit’s cult queer classic ‘But I’m a Cheerleader’ projected onto the big screen in Deptford Library’s front foyer.
Free popcorn will also be provided, but you’re welcome to bring any additional refreshments if you wish.
Megan (Natasha Lyonne) is pretty, popular and has a hot jock boyfriend – she’s a cheerleader! But after being told during an intervention from family and friends that she is *gasp* gay, she’s sent to the True Directions boot camp in an effort to alter her sexual orientation. Whilst there, Megan meets Graham (Clea DuVall), a rebellious and unapologetic lesbian who helps her understand and embrace her sexuality. With an all-star supporting cast including RuPaul, Melanie Lynskey, Michelle Williams and Julie Delpy, But I’m A Cheerleader confronts the horrifying reality of conversion therapy with a refreshing dose of bubble-gum satire and a lot of queer joy.
