(Nancy Walker, US 1980, 118 min., 35mm)

After he made Grease, writer/producer and camp legend Allan Carr presented audiences with this paean to flamboyant excess. A vehicle for pop sensations the Village People, the movie charts the rise to fame of the cowboy, the construction worker, et al., with a series of jaw-dropping musical numbers (including Y.M.C.A. and the title track) that make Busby Berkeley look positively modest. The supporting cast includes Valerie Perrine, a roller-skating Steve Guttenberg, and in his auspicious debut, former Olympian Bruce Jenner. Co-presented by ImageOut, the Rochester LGBT Film Festival.

Prior to the screening, get a first look at this year’s ImageOut lineup of films at a 7 p.m. release party for Rochester’s Lesbian & Gay Film & Video Festival’s 2007 program. In a tribute to the time period in which Can’t Stop the Music is set, Rochester performer Thomas Warfield will present a short, lively revue of memorable pop culture at 7:30, followed by a sneak preview of this year’s films with a selection of tantalizing trailers and insider information.
