This Filthy World


The American filmmaker, actor, writer, journalist, visual artist, art collector, raconteur, ‘King of Crass’ and the ‘Pope of Trash’, John Waters will be in Australia soon. He is not here with any of his movies, rather he is on stage with his one man show This Filthy World. Too bad he is not coming to Launceston. He might be but we do not know about it.

John Waters is in Australia to delight and disgust. His show This Filthy World is at the Sydney Opera House on March 2. If there are any seats left are there any Launcestonians who would like to be a part of a group booking? email art@7250.net

Apparently, Waters’ show transmogrifies on a regular basis. What you see tonight might not be what you see tomorrow night. Anyway the reason for drawing all this to the attention of The LFSaskew BLOGerz is that a film festival entitled LAUNCESTON FILM FESTIVAL: Trash & Transgressive could be an economic option and a crowd puller – not to mention the funding it could win. We reckon the idea has got legs!
