What good is sitting alone in your room? Come to "Cabaret," the best movie musical of all time (Forbes) at UCPAC's Main Stage! See this 35mm screening of the 1972 classic film that won eight Academy Awards, including Best Director (Bob Fosse), Best Actress (Liza Minnelli as Sally Bowles), and Best Supporting Actor (Joel Grey as the Master of Ceremonies).
Set in Germany in 1931, "Cabaret" tells the story of Bowles, an American singer performing at Berlin's glittering Kit Kat Klub while the world outside grows increasingly bleak with the rise of the Nazi regime. With dazzling music and unforgettable performances, "Cabaret" portrays how entertainment can be an escape, if only momentarily, even in the darkest of times.

Join us for John Waters' notorious 1972 cult classic "Pink Flamingos," starring the inimitable Divine as a self-proclaimed queen of filth competing in a grotesque rivalry for the title of “the filthiest person alive.” Waters uses camp, drag, and excess to expose the hypocrisy of moral respectability and the performative nature of celebrity. Outrageous, rebellious, and defiantly disgusting, Pink Flamingos, part of Waters' Trash Trilogy, remains a radical statement and an important chapter in movie history. In 2021, the Library of Congress selected "Pink Flamingos" for preservation in the US National Film Registry for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."
Enjoy a cocktail and dress as Divine as you dare - prizes for best look!
Rated NC-17. This 35mm presentation of "Pink Flamingos" is part of the I. Joseph Hyatt Classic Film Series.
