CULT SENSATION is a queer celebration of cult cinema, a monthly film series presented by Portland drag icon and resident programmer Violet Hex. Each month Violet carefully curates interactive screenings featuring themed pre-film DRAG SHOWS and DJ SETS exploring (and paying tribute to) the fashion, music, drama, and queerness of cult cinema.

Film Description:
Megan (Natasha Lyonne) considers herself a typical American girl. She excels in school and cheerleading, and she has a handsome football-playing boyfriend, even though she isn’t that crazy about him. So she’s stunned when her parents decide she’s gay and send her to True Directions, a boot camp meant to alter her sexual orientation. While there, Megan meets a rebellious and unashamed teen lesbian, Graham (Clea DuVall). Though Megan still feels confused, she starts to have feelings for Graham.
