Dumpster Raccoon – BACK TO THE BEGINNING 2025To celebrate SEVEN SPECTACULAR YEARS, Toronto’s acclaimed Dumpster Raccoon Cinema is going BACK TO THE BEGINNING all summer long with a triumphant rescreening of its FIRST THREE FILMS! Join us for the disasterpiece trilogy that started it all and set the delirious tone for all the lunacy that was to come, as we visit three phenomenal, hyper-melodic pop-art sci-fi fantasies – FLASH GORDON (1980), BARBARELLA (1968), and PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE (1974)!
FASHION! FEMINISM! FONDA!
Brilliant scientist DURAND DURAND is missing! His positronic ray could DESTABILIZE THE GALAXY! It’s up to intergalactic space agent BARBARELLA (Jane Fonda!) to traverse the cosmos, find Durand Durand, and change into AS MANY AMAZING OUTFITS AS POSSIBLE while flirting with FOUR OR FIVE DUDES OF VARYING HOTNESS, AN ANGEL, and an EXTREMELY EVIL QUEEN before the terrifying MATMOS DEVOURS US ALL!
Made in 1968 for reasons that were unclear to most of the people involved, BARBARELLA is the lavish technicolour masterpiece of French eroticist Roger Vadim and his wife and star Jane Fonda, whose Barbarella exhibits a frank, forthright insistence on her own sexual liberation and self-determination – wearing what she wants (the OUTFITS!), sleeping with whom she wants (regardless of gender), and finding plainspoken delight even in the doomsday machines her sadistic tormentors insist ought to be destroying her with pleasure!
With SPECIAL LIVE PERFORMANCE, video preshow by host Anthony Oliveira, and cocktails by the Shameful Tiki Room! Sponsored by Bay Street Video!
