Film Series: “Flash Gordon”

(1980, 111 minutes, PG) This summer, we cool off in the Setzer Foundation Auditorium and celebrate the art of camp, with campy films that are exuberant, playful, dramatized, and hilarious (though not always intentionally). Each presentation will begin with an introduction by local film lover and historian Jacob Greenberg and a campy short film showcasing some of the best (and weirdest) of underground cinema. The featured film for September is “Flash Gordon.” Earth is under attack, and football star Flash Gordon may be our only hope! Based on a comic book of the same name, “Flash Gordon” features an original soundtrack by Queen, and lots of colorful, campy fun. Tickets may be purchased at crockerartmuseum.org or at the Museum admission desk.
