We're so excited that D'Arcy Drollinger's "Lady Champagne" is the Opening Night film for Frameline50!
A fierce lampooning of classic sexploitation flicks as well as a loving homage to β80s slapstick comedies like "The Naked Gun", "Lady Champagne" is a non-stop camp extravaganza that doubles the silly and triples the laughs of its predecessor β all born from the mind of director, writer, star, and San Francisco drag scene staple D'Arcy Drollinger.
Shot here in San Francisco, "Lady Champagne" used our "Scene in San Francisco" incentive program. Since we updated our incentive this year, qualified productions can now get a cash rebate of up to $1 million! To learn more about the incentive, go to filmsf.org.
"Lady Champagne" will be screening at the Castro Theatre on June 17 at 7:30pm. Get your tickets at frameline.org before it sells out! πΎ

The birth of the Frameline Film Festival β From shadows on a bedsheet to an international event
As Frameline celebrates 50th anniversary, surviving cofounders Marc Huestis, Ric Mears and Daniel Nicoletta shared their memories of the film festival's humble beginnings, when Super 8 short films were shown in a crowded loft with no seats, but a lot of cameraderie.
