See how the Hairspray and Pink Flamingos writer and director’s delightfully filthy style has redefined the possibilities of independent cinema—as well as what exactly goes into making an indie movie—during this career-spanning exhibition at the Academy Museum. “John Waters: The Pope of Trash” includes costumes, props, photos, handwritten scripts, correspondence and memos, scrapbooks and more. Look out for related screenings as well as an adjoining installation on the American Avant-garde and New Queer Cinema.
It’s Coachella time, but Angelenos have plenty of other reasons to sing April’s praises, too: Beach weather is practically here, and some wildflowers, too. From major museum exhibitions to concerts, there are plenty of fun things to do packed into our April events calendar.
