7:30 pm Die Mommie Die (90 min)

	Join Frameline to kick off 18 days of the best new queer cinema with Sundance favorite DIE MOMMIE DIE, Charles Busch’s dazzlingly dizzy pastiche of 1960s camp classics–from WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE? to VALLEY OF THE DOLLS and more. Fresh from the Broadway successes of “The Tale of the Allergist’s Wife” and “Shanghai Moon,” as well as the film adaptation of his play PSYCHO BEACH PARTY, Busch purrs and growls his way through the movie as bitter fading chanteuse Angela Arden, whose family is out for murderous revenge after daddy turns up dead from a poisoned suppository. Natasha Lyonne oozes spite as Edith, Angela’s “daddy’s girl” of a daughter; Stark Sands oozes budding sex appeal as Lance, her hot son who just got kicked out of college; and the cute-as-ever Jason Priestley just oozes all over the screen as Tony Parker, a well-hung gigolo with an agenda. Meanwhile, Frances Conroy, the funereal mom on “Six Feet Under,” spouts scripture as the family’s long-suffering maid, Bootsie. Directed by Mark Rucker, Busch and the entire ensemble deliver a one-of-a-kind wallow in the best of cinema’s worst.

7:30 pm Prey for Rock & Roll (100 min)

	Get out your lighters, hold ’em high and get ready to rock! From its rock show origins at the Bottom of the Hill to this big-screen adaptation starring Gina Gershon of BOUND, Drea DeMatteo of “The Sopranos” and Lori Petty of A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN, Festival audiences are sure to rock the roof off the Castro Theatre on Closing Night with PREY FOR ROCK & ROLL. Based on Cheri Lovedog’s autobiographical play, Gershon plays Jacki, a sexy but aging punk rocker who is the lead singer of an all-chick rock-and-roll band and who packs both attitude and despair into not having “made it” despite 10 years playing the L.A. club scene. A small recording label is courting the band by tempting their palettes with a sweet deal-the opening slot for X. But with her birthday fast approaching, Jacki is at a crossroads because of a promise she made to herself more than a decade earlier to quit the music business by age 40 if not yet successful. Jacki resolves to play this one last gig, in hopes the band’s many years of hard rocking, Aqua Net spraying, couch touring, and slugging it out in small clubs is all about to pay off.
