“Sister, sister, oh so fair, why is there blood all over your hair?” If you, like so many of us, frequently find yourself asking this same question, then don’t worry: The Cans Film Festival‘s screening of Whatever Happened To Baby Jane?, taking place next Tuesday 2/23 at Macri Park has all the answers you seek.
The inspiration for the The Cans Film Festival (a new series of queer, monthly movie screenings at Macri Park every third Tuesday of the month) struck after curators Ben Miller and Dan Kessel (a former Bushwick Daily editorial fellow), witnessed queen Crimson Kitty’s mash-up of Ariana Grande and samples from the film Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? at Bushwick’s internationally renowned drag festival Bushwig last summer.
“Any queen worth her salt knows her references. After the show we got to talking and realized how crucial it would be to have a community-based queer film series in Brooklyn. Thankfully, it was easy to get started — the folks who run Macri Park (and Metropolitan and many other lovely places) are delightfully accessible and responsive,” Kessel tells Bushwick Daily.
