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.
Let’s get this out of the way: February is the time for everyone’s favorite love-hate holiday, Valentine’s Day (and we have a feeling there’ll be plenty to hate about it this year). But there’s a lot more to the mini month than chocolates and roses (though you can literally stop and smell them at a botanical garden). There are still plenty of things to do in Los Angeles in winter before the seasonally-similar spring arrives. No matter your plans—and love life status—you’ll find plenty of things to do in our February events calendar.
