A event held at The Ill Repute on Wednesday 11th February. The event starts at 20:00.
Be Kind Rewind Bristol blasts off to the outer limits of camp with Vegas in Space; a rhinestone-studded, zero-gravity sci-fi musical that laughs in the face of good taste and absolutely commits to the bit.
In a future where Earth’s fate hinges on fabulousness, three male space agents are dispatched on an undercover mission to recover stolen jewels on an alien planet inhabited entirely by women. Their solution? Undergo sex-change operations so they can blend in, infiltrate the glittering society, and crack the case from the inside. What unfolds is a homemade cosmos of towering wigs, lip-synced show tunes, cosmic melodrama, and drag spectacle so committed it becomes transcendent.
Shot on video with cardboard sets, VHS effects, and pure queer nerve, this is DIY cinema at its most joyous and defiant. Campy, clunky, and completely sincere, Vegas in Space is a landmark of underground queer filmmaking - long before representation was marketable and long before anyone thought “maybe we should sand this down.”
This isn’t polish, it’s pleasure.
• The Ill Repute, Old Market – downstairs cinema room
• Doors 7pm / Film 8pm sharp – limited seating, no late entry
• Free entry – first come, first served
• Cocktails & drinks upstairs – bring one down and prepare for liftoff
