This year at The Pickford, we’re celebrating Pride with Drag Me to the Movies!, a series curated by Pickford projectionists honoring the tradition of drag in cinema.
“Drag is a performance art used to express, reflect, and analyze gender identities and experiences through costuming, makeup, music, or a number of other outlets.
In Bellingham, drag has had a home here for over a century, with one of its first celebrities being Percy Irvine Yarick performing at Bellingham's Grand Theater on Holly Street in 1905. Since then we have been home to hundreds if not thousands of drag performers all of them seeking to express themselves through art, comedy, sorrow, and fabulous looks.
The films for this year's Pride series are just a small collection of works that not only provide entertainment through drag, but also educate and inform us of the wide range of life and drag experiences.” - Pickford Film Center Projectionists
