Capital Celluloid 2023 — Day 67: Wed Mar 8

Kansas City Bomber (Freedman, 1972): Genesis Cinema, 8.30pm


Hosting tonight’s film will be cult film fanatic Katy Bulmer (Loose Willis) who will be joined on stage by FIST CLUB co-creator Daisy Lang (Rocky Rhodes aka Big Dick Energy) and professional wrestler Beau Belles (Sally Altan). Together, they’ll screen Raquel Welch’s roller-derby classic, KANSAS CITY BOMBER (1972), and discuss why watching violent women, non-binary and gender non-conforming characters on screen is a radical act.


In KANSAS CITY BOMBER, Raquel Welch plays roller-derby skater K. C. Carr who tries to balance her personal life with dreams of stardom.

Here (and above) is the trailer.
