CGiii Comment

Guests from all walks of LGBTIQ+ life rub shoulders – among them Blitz Kids Boy George and Marilyn – enjoying a shared moment of freedom and some outrageous fashions. Scottish underground filmmaker John Samson was a talented chronicler of bohemia, known for his 1977 portrait of the fetish clothing scene Dressing for Pleasure. Recently unearthed by John’s son, Drag Ball is an unmissable record of the capital’s queer scene on the cusp of great change and adversity. Expect special guests and extra archive goodies on the night.
