St. Trinian's at QFest

Filed Under: Movies | Film Fest trailer!

When it comes to the two big festivals, I, along with my fellow critics and the staff/interns I berate in to reviewing movies, slog through a ton of screeners to give you the best of the fests (you can read our QFest reviews here and here). But out of the many movies I was looking forward to, I didn't get a screener for St. Trinian's, a not-so-gay movie about an unruly girl's school. The movie is part of a newly re-booted series, originally based on the cartoons of Ronald Searle, who based the fictional St. Trinian's on a real school he observed while staying in Scotland during WWII. A British professor I had in college loved these movies when she was a kid and always told me to watch them.

Check out the trailer below.

Obviously Rupert Everett in drag is a highlight but there's a bunch of other big name Brits in the cast, much like the original films, which points to the source material's staying power within British pop culture. It screened this weekend and I couldn't go. Anyone happen to catch this? I'm going to try to catch Saturday's re-screen.

St. Trinian's, Sat., July 18, 9:15 p.m., $10, Ritz East, 125 S. 2nd. St., qfest.com.
