Bottoms flips the teen comedy on its head with gloriously chaotic, unapologetically queer energy. It’s messy, horny, and totally heartfelt -a film where the queer weirdos get to be the heroes (and throw a few punches along the way)
This is a CULTPLEX party screening! So dressing up and crowd participation is encouraged - expect party props from the film, bangers before we start, themed cocktails and more.
Unpopular best friends PJ and Josie (Rachel Sennott and Ayo Edebiri) start a high school fight club to meet girls and lose their virginity. They soon find themselves in over their heads when the most popular students start beating each other up in the name of self-defense.
Part of SCENE 2025's "Queer As Jokes" strand celebrating funny queer people and the things that make our community laugh from classic sitcoms to new comedy films.
Check out the rest of the season at the festival if you want some lightness in these dark times.
