The Fanthropologist will host “Queer Classics: A Hard Day’s Night (1964)” on Monday, Aug. 25 at 7 p.m. at Spark Social House.

The film follows The Beatles around for two “typical” days. There will also be a screening of “Psycho Beach Party,” a film that’s a mix of 1950s psychological thrillers, ’60s beach movies, and ‘70s slasher films. This event, curated and hosted by “fanthropologist” and film and TV scholar Lena Barkin, is devoted to screening films shaped by queers and queers shaped by films around the D.C. metro area. Through fostering community and discussion, this series highlights the long and strange history of queerness in media from precode to millennial.

This event is free but donations are welcome. For more details, visit Eventbrite.
