"The Frameline Award, which has not been given out since 2019, is given to a person or entity that has made a major contribution to LGBTQ+ representation in film, television, or the media arts. And this year it will be bestowed on filmmaker, writer, and visual artist John Waters during a special presentation on March 17 to kick off Frameline's 50th anniversary season. The event will also feature a screening of Waters's 1994 classic , starring Kathleen Turner, with live commentary from Waters and Peaches Christ."
"Celebrating John Waters, a titan of transgressive independent cinema who also never fails to bring us together and make us laugh, captures the spirit of Frameline so well. If the world excludes us, we'll build the one we want to see and we'll have a damn good time doing it."
Frameline will bestow the Frameline Award, dormant since 2019, on filmmaker, writer, and visual artist John Waters at the Castro Theatre on March 17 to launch Frameline's 50th anniversary season. The presentation will include a screening of Waters's 1994 classic starring Kathleen Turner with live commentary from Waters and Peaches Christ. Tickets are expected to sell quickly. Past Frameline Award recipients include Gregg Araki, Barbara Hammer, Vito Russo, Divine, and George Takei. Waters has lived part-time in San Francisco for over two decades and began his career making queer underground midnight movies in Baltimore with Glenn Milstead (Divine), later moving toward more mainstream work by the late 1980s.
