Cazenovia Pride takes over Manlius Cinema for a Pride Month movie night unlike anything Central New York has seen, a live, in-character drag commentary screening of the 1995 cult classic To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar, with running commentary from drag superstar Anita Buffem, the first drag queen elected in the United States. This isn't your average movie night. It's heels, hecklers (the affectionate kind), and an NYC drag legend back in their hometown talking back to the screen. Wesley Snipes, Patrick Swayze, and John Leguizamo as three New York City drag queens on a cross-country road trip and Anita Buffem giving you the live, unfiltered commentary track the DVD never had. A benefit for Caz Pride and hosted by Michelle and Anne of LezBeinSyracuse. Before the feature, we're pulling two shorts from the Anita Buffem video vault - vintage performances and rarely-seen footage from nearly two decades on the NYC scene, screened for the first time on the big screen at Manlius Cinema. Then it's To Wong Foo in full, with Anita riffing live throughout. After the credits roll, stick around for a drag Q&A with Anita Buffem, hosted by Michelle Horton, co-founder of Queeracuse.com - CNY's brand new LGBTQ+ business and community directory. Ask your questions about the NYC drag scene, what it's like being an out drag queen in elected office in rural Upstate New York, and (hopefully) a few fun questions that go completely off the rails.

Calico Rebellion: The Anti-Rent War and the Second American Revolution
Special showing on June 15 at 6:45PM only!

Live Q&A with the filmmakers

Presale tickets: https://ticketing.useast.veezi.com/purchase/708?siteToken=mvwmvahhw6238mdza98rhjfkjm

Join us for a post-screening conversation and talk-back Q&A with the filmmaker Victoria Kupchinetsky and producer Misha Gutkin In the lush woods of New York State’s Catskill Mountains, a mythical memory lives on. Of a time when men — armed with rifles and pitchforks, disguised in eerie masks and gowns — descended from bucolic hills to stage the Anti-Rent War, or the “Second American Revolution” as they called it. That farmers’ uprising 200 years ago changed the course of American history and paved the way to the creation of Abraham Lincoln’s Republican Party. Today, although largely forgotten, the historic uprising lives on through direct descendants of those rebellious farmers, through their stories, songs, and the eerie costumes preserved since the 1840s. CALICO REBELLION is a cinematic journey into small town America, its idealism and the violence that percolates just beneath the surface. The film explores themes of land, belonging, and the historical identity of the people who continue to change the political landscape of their country.

Rating: Unrated
Length: 1 hr 11 min
Genre: Documentary
Director: Victoria Kupchinetsky
