Multiple Maniacs: Mink Stole and Peaches Christ on BFI’s new Trash cinema series
“Well, it’s a real thing,” Christ replies, “Especially after the pandemic, it was important for queer people to gather in person. Grindr is not nearly enough. Now, especially as we see queer spaces disappearing, I’m realising this is important. And not just queer people. I mean the BFI Trash! programme, whether you come to our show or other shows, there is a difference between watching [Russ Meyer’s] Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! at home on your TV screen, than watching it in an auditorium full of people who need to see sexy women kick some ass, right? Being with like-minded people and sharing a transgressive sensibility, especially now with the daily news being the way it is, I do think there is a sort of spiritual component to it.”
