Thelma & Louise

With short film Glitter’s Wild Women

Adventure, the open road, and two great girl-friends -- it starts out as a weekend getaway for the books, but things go horribly wrong and Thelma and Louise find themselves running from the law across state lines. Carried by Callie Khouri’s whip-smart screenplay and the definitive female buddy duo of Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis, Thelma & Louise carries the same sense of emotional urgency that it did for audiences almost three decades ago, a powerful #MeToo story long before the term was coined. This cinematic classic was all but rained out during our 2019 season, so we’re bringing it back for a second chance!

Joining Thelma and Louise on this journey is weirdo buddy comedy/thriller Glitter’s Wild Women, by Toronto-based director Roney, one of TOPS’ 10th anniversary funded filmmakers for her next film, Bee Problem. Roney establishes her singularly unsettling style in this subversive fable about two psychedelic glitter-harvesting sisters who set out to organize an outdoor film festival and make a movie that their audience may not live long enough to watch.
