It's time to get camp at the cinema with Blackpool Film Festival.

The festival heads to the ARC Cinema (formerly Backlot) on Thursday, December 11 for an evening of high drama and huge emotions at a special screening of Paul Verhoeven's Showgirls.

Using the much loved sensibility of camp, Harry Clayton-Wright and Catherine Mugonyi created 'Camp at the Cinema', a live cinema event that highlights iconic over the top moments on the silver screen.

Audiences will be treated to a funny, engaging and insightful cinema talk that explores the idea of camp and shares examples of its presence in the world of film melodrama.
