Tickets Available Here. Our third film in Rosendale Theatre’s Qweird Cinema series, featuring a Q&A with director Vera Drew! Drew takes the familiar structure of the superhero film and the ubiquitous mythology of Batman to tell a heartfelt, funny, satirical coming out story. The People’s Joker is a scathing breakdown of the superhero cultural-industrial complex and an earnest, personal story about identity, gender, and creativity. It highlights the opportunity that superhero films’ formulaic narratives offer when you are willing to subvert, skew, and utilize them to your own means. Drew’s film was stuck in a rights battle for two years after its initial premiere at Toronto International Film Festival, and we’re proud to present it as part of this series.
