Celebrating Doc Edge 20th Anniversary
Two decades of powerful documentaries, diverse voices, and unforgettable stories.
Strange Journey: The Story of Rocky Horror
Director Linus O’Brien | United States | 89 mins | International Premiere
“A cult classic. It’s astounding. Let’s do the Time Warp again“
From humble origins as a London fringe theatre play to its meteoric rise, fall and resurrection as the biggest cult film of all time, this is the definitive story of the Rocky Horror Show. With intimate access to its creator Richard O’Brien and other major players such as Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon, and Lou Adler, the film explores what makes the play and film so singular.
Its groundbreaking and transgressive themes, iconic performances and epic songs took over popular culture. The cult phenomenon that sprung around it is unparalleled, and created not only the midnight screenings which continue to this day, but also a safe haven for those who ever felt different or marginalised.
Get ready to time warp! We’re rolling out the red carpet for Strange Journey: The Story of Rocky Horror, followed by special guests appearances, a Q&A with Director Linus O’Brien and his legendry father, Richard O’Brien. Join us for a fabulous evening of celebration – Doc Edge’s 20th Anniversary Gala Night on
