'A Divine Sunday' film event to benefit Trevor Project for LGBT teens

Learning Curve


By Beth Hawkins | 10:00 am


The Divine Sunday is the last day of the Out Twin Cities Film Festival.


Two partners in a top law firm, a drag queen and a documentarian walk into a bar ...

OK, so the late, iconic performer can be there in spirit only, but the other characters hope you will join them for a film premiere and reception being billed as “A Divine Sunday.”

Yes, that Divine. The actor also known as Harris Glenn Milstead, the star of “Mondo Trasho, “Pink Flamingoes,” “Polyester” and — who can forget? — “Hairspray.”

For $50, attendees will gain admission to the Minnesota premiere of the newly released biopic “I Am Divine,” a chance to mingle with its director, Jeffrey Schwarz, over cocktails and hors d’oeuvres at Pracna on Main between screenings, and to see another of his acclaimed films, “Vito,” a portrait of Vito Russo, whose presence at the Stonewall riots propelled him to prominence as an early gay-rights advocate.
