Cinema Diverse Spotlight:
Oscar Wilde About America
In 1882, Oscar Wilde toured America…in 2024, he came back.
“Oscar Wilde About America” reimagines Wilde’s 1882 American tour as a present day cross-country roadtrip. This big-hearted romp from New York City to Hollywood, CA leads Oscar to the queer joy, love, and liberation that eluded him 141 years ago, with the attendant themes of diversity, identity, and inclusion beautifully expressed in the film’s original song, “Be Yourself, Everyone Else Is Taken”, based on one of Wilde’s most popular quotes. Filmed in London and in multiple locations across the United States (including Palm Springs!), the film stars West End star Oscar Conlon-Morrey as Oscar Wilde, and features Michael Childers, and film/tv/stage veterans Rosemary Harris and Kate Burton. See it Saturday, Sept. 21 at 7:00pm.
