The Hollywood Theatre’s bimonthly program QUEER HORROR returns for a Valentine's Day PICNIC AT HANGING ROCK (1975)! Hosted by Portland’s premier drag clown Carla Rossi, this date night opens with a preshow starring PDX all-stars Kimber Shade, Valerie DeVille, and Wanda Bones, and is sponsored by Double Mountain Brewery and Cidery.

Directed by Peter Weir from Joan Lindsay's classic novel, PICNIC AT HANGING ROCK follows an Australian girls' school's titular class picnic on Valentine's Day, 1900. But when three girls and their teacher suddenly vanish, as if into the Hanging Rock itself, it sets the remaining schoolgirls, their unflinching headmistress Mrs. Appleyard (Rachel Roberts), and the neighboring colony on a collision course with obsession and doom. Gorgeously filmed (and inspiring Sofia Coppola's THE VIRGIN SUICIDES) and featuring multiple queer-coded characters, PICNIC AT HANGING ROCK is a sumptuous masterclass in existential terror and how to make it beautiful.

NOTE: to protect our performers, masks will be required in the auditorium (except when actively eating and drinking) during this event.
