Reminder: film: Forever's Gonna Start Tonight at the Castro @ Sat Aug 6 11:59pm - Sun Aug 7, 2011 12:59am (queerthingssf@gmail.com)

film: Forever's Gonna Start Tonight at the Castro

Forever's Gonna Start Tonight tells the astounding life story of San Francisco legend Vicki Marlane. Vicki takes us on the ride of her life — from cross-dressed roller-skating in her youth, to working the carnival sideshows circuit in the 1950s, from the wild years of San Francisco in the 1970s, to survival in the 1980s and her legendary performances at Aunt Charlie's.

Through video documentation of Marlane's performances, archival images of her glory days, and first-person interviews with Marlane and her circle of friends, fans and co-workers, Forever's Gonna Start Tonight tells the remarkable story. Directed by Michelle Lawler, and produced by archivist and historian Kim Klausner (It's Elementary: Talking About Gay Issues In School) and Emmy Award-winning Susan Stryker (Screaming Queens: The Riot at Compton's Cafeteria) this documentary is a loving tribute to a drag icon, and a fascinating look at LBGT history and culture, all told through the memories of a San Francisco legend.

Peaches Christ Productions and The Castro Theatre are very proud to present this special one-night only memorial screening. Come celebrate not just the life of Vicki Marlane, but also this wonderful film - a film which documents one of the richest and most vibrant Queer Arts scenes in the world: San Francisco Drag.

Director Michelle Lawler will be in attendance for post-screening Q&A. Tickets are $10 and all profits benefit the AIDS Emergency Fund.
