Head over to Smitty-B and join director John Cameron Mitchell (the “Hedwig and the Angry Inch” guy) for a screening of his 2006 film “Shortbus” — Q & A to follow. This is what The New York Times had to say.
As utopian visions go, it doesn’t get much better than “Shortbus,” a film in which all you need is love — and sex, lots and lots of mutually, sometimes collectively, pleasurable sex. John Cameron Mitchell wrote and directed, though orchestrated might be the better word for a carnivalesque romp in which men and women engage in sex in a multitude of creative combinations. An ode to the joy and sweet release of sex…
What could I possibly add to that?
(Update: I guess I do have to add something. According to one commenter Mr. Mitchell will not attend this screening. The press release from Brown indicated that he would.)
Tuesday, 7:30pm, Room 106, Smith-Buonanno Hall, Meeting Street (east of Brown Street), Brown University
oops. i guess i didn’t read the comment above mine all the way through. sorry for being Johnny Repetitive.
that’s what the facebook invite says, too. doggone it, my day is totally boring and seeing hunky john cameron mitchell* would have made it so much better…. oh well.
(*seriously, the man is a fox.)
Shortbus is indeed being screened tomorrow at 7:30 but Director Cameron Mitchell won’t be there. He’s coming to town on Tuesday, December 2 for a screening of another one of his films, Hedwig and the Angry Inch. That event’s at the RISD Auditorium (7 Canal Street) at 7PM next Tuesday.

According to the Brown University Office of Media Relations it is open to the public. There is no mention of any charge for admission.
I love that film! Is this open to the public, and if so, is it free?
