Fanny: The Right to Rock, which chronicles the story of rock queens from the 1970s, will screen at the DOXA festival s first ever drive-in theatre.
If you wanted to do drive-in movies the old-fashioned way, you’d cram as many people as possible into a car (including a few in the trunk) and pack giant, grease-spotted grocery bags of homemade popcorn along with bottles of generic soda pop with names like Spronk and Sort-of-Cola. You’d have to pee like a racehorse in the final climactic scene of the film, but that’s the price you pay for all that delicious fizz.
