Come as you are and celebrate! Queer Vision Film Festival is delighted to present this groundbreaking and uproariously funny comedy gem from director Mike Nichols.

The Birdcage is loosely adapted from the farcical French play, and its subsequent film adaptation, La Cage aux Folles. It follows cabaret club owners and lovers Armand (Robin Williams) and Albert (Nathan Lane) receiving word that their son is intent to marry the daughter of a controversial conservative politician (Gene Hackman).

To accommodate, the couple make sincere attempts to hide their true selves when the father of the bride abruptly comes to visit. But as their stay increases, the truth must eventually win out.

Thirty years on, The Birdcage is still a fierce and uncompromising celebration of love in all its forms
