✮⋆ Film screening: The People’s Joker

Featured

WE INVITE YOU, THE PEOPLE, ON THE 11TH OF MARCH, 19:00 TO OUR NEXT FILM SCREENING!

The People’s joker, 2022, dir. Vera Drew, is the totally heart wrenching and devastating, NOT AT ALL COMEDIC story of an aspiring clown who’s grappling with her gender identity and has to fight some fascistic caped crusader! 😱 (we’ve all been there… honestly)

Letterboxd people (are they who this joker is for??? I havent seen the movie yet) have left reviews stating:
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ absolute cinema, how do you even come up with this i love gay people”
” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ hell yeahhhh”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️ much better than joker 2”
“⭐️⭐️ cool ideia but i got bored and dropped in the middle”
“Love the textures”
What all of this means? You tell me! But i have a suspicion it might be a bit… fruity…? Come find out at the screening! Maybe you could share your own letterboxd review with us afterwards 😏😏

(For those wondering: it is actually a comedy movie, i was lying to you earlier because im evil. Sorry.)

Content Warning: dead naming, abusive relationship, violence.

📅 Tuesday March 11th. Doors open 19.00, movie starts at 19.30.
