Join Palomar College's Pride Center for a very special screening of "Playland" followed by an in-person conversation with the film's director, Student Academy Award winner Georden West!

With an eclectic ensemble of queer performers, including drag icon Lady Bunny and POSE's Danielle Cooper, "Playland" is transdisciplinary in every sense of the word: music, dance, archival footage, tableaux, opera, and performance art are layered into an ethereal piece subverting all boundaries. Produced by Palomar Cinema Professor Russell Sheaffer, Georden West’s debut feature is an expressionist and very queer bricolage, focusing on an atemporal night in Boston’s oldest gay bar, the Playland Café.

Playland conjures a time-bending night in Boston’s oldest and most notorious gay bar. Featuring an eclectic ensemble of queer performers, including drag icon Lady Bunny and Pose‘s Danielle Cooper, the transdisciplinary film sees music, dance, archival footage, tableaux, opera, and performance art layered into an ethereal piece subverting all boundaries.
