- DirectorSteve YeagerStarsJohn WatersPat WatersJohn Waters Sr.The life and times of Baltimore film maker and midnight movie pioneer, John Waters. Intercut with a 1972 interview of Waters are clips from his first films and recent interviews with his parents, his brother, Divine's mom, actors and crew, other directors, film critics, a film curator, psychologists, and Maryland's last censor, who shudders at the memory of Waters's pictures. Also included is footage of Waters making his early movies, culminating in an up-close and in-depth look at Pink Flamingos: the script, the set, the filming conditions, its editing, its distribution, and its impact. In sweet ways, this documentary is also a celebration of Divine (1945-1988).
- DirectorTodd SolondzStarsJane AdamsJon LovitzPhilip Seymour HoffmanThe lives of several individuals intertwine as they go about their lives in their own unique ways, engaging in acts which society as a whole might find disturbing in a desperate search for human connection.
- DirectorJohn WatersStarsDivineMark IsherwoodDavid LocharyJohn Waters' second film, shot on 8mm and featuring Divine for the first time. Essentially a plotless collage of random incidents involving sex, drugs, religion, and 'The Wizard of Oz', it was shown with an equally random soundtrack that mixed 'obnoxious radio advertisements, rock'n'roll and press conferences with Lee Harvey Oswald's mother'. It was shown three times in public but never released commercially.
- DirectorDelmer DavesStarsTroy DonahueDorothy McGuireConnie StevensPremarital sex, secrets, and society. At 17, shy Susan Slade is on her way to California after a 10-year stay at a remote Chilean mine where her father was chief engineer. Onboard ship, she's romanced by Conn White, a handsome mountain climber on his way to Alaska. Home in Monterey, Susan longs to hear from Conn. Two locals also take a shine to her: Hoyt Brecker, a horse wrangler who's the son of a criminal; and Wells Corbett, a sweet guy who lives in his high-society parents' shadow. Jump ahead two years: Susan has a desperate secret that her socially-conscious mother won't let her share. Can Susan find happiness--and what is it really that turns a girl into a woman?
