About

‘At the dawn of the 1970s in San Francisco, a flamboyant ensemble of hippies calling themselves The Cockettes presented a series of legendary midnight drag shows at the Palace Theater. Their all-singing, all-dancing extravaganzas featured elaborate costumes, rebellious sexuality, and exuberant chaos.’ Walker Art Center

‘This is why I go see documentaries in the theater – to be moved and entertained all at once. This is one of those rare docs that paints a grand picture of an era and makes the journey feel like a party. One moment I was laughing my ass off and the next moment I was in tears. Witnessing the creative anarchy of the subjects of “The Cockettes” is pure joy.’ Chris Gore, Film Threat
