Summer Camp 2
A Pride Month favorite returns - time to reconnect with our camp friends again this summer.
It’s the return of our celebration of over-the-top, outrageously fun films that have become absolute queer classics. Join us as we shout “Wagon Wheel Watusi!” with Cher during BURLESQUE, cheer after every Julie Andrews performance in VICTOR/VICTORIA, bask in the glow of BUT I’M A CHEERLEADER, and MFF2026 favorite SHE’S THE HE.
