Curator: Bina Bhattacharya

Film: Hairspray (1988) - 1pm

Workshop: 3pm - 4pm

Tickets: $10

The Curator of our first film as part of the Popcorn and Pencils program is Bina Bhattacharya. PYT Fairfield's very own "Creative Producer - Youth and Emerging", and Campbelltown-based filmmaker.

Bina is always saying that she wants to "do for Campbelltown what John Waters did for Baltimore". But what does that mean? Bina will show you exactly what in this special presentation of John Waters 1988 classic "Hairspray" accompanied by a workshop exploring "sense of PLACE in cinema."

You may have heard of "Hairspray" the movie musical starring John Travolta, but before it was a musical it was a cult movie with transgressive drag queen Divine, Sonny Bono and Deborah Harry. Set in 1962, "Hairspray" tells the story of overweight teenager Tracey Turnblad (a young Ricki Lake) who lands a spot on a popular TV dance show and goes on to teach racially segregated Baltimore a thing or two about integration.
