August First Friday: MARMIA Hosts Hairspray/Desperate Living Criterion Release Party

Join us as we celebrate the release of new 4K restorations of Desperate Living and Hairspray (hosted by the Mid-Atlantic Regional Moving Image Archive) with Susan Lowe, Mary Vivian Pearce, and George Figgs in attendance!
Based in Baltimore, MARMIA is a nonprofit film archive preserving regional film and video from throughout the Mid-Atlantic, and has partnered with the Criterion Collection on many of their John Waters discs.
Purchase signed copies of both films, rub shoulders with the Dreamlanders, and chat with the MARMIA team as they present a John Waters mixtape featuring highlights from the WJZ Collection (once the home of the Buddy Deane Show, the inspiration for Hairspray).

Copies will be available for purchase at the event.
Plus, snacks!
