Eric A. Stanley and Chris Vargas’s Criminal Queers stages a camp jailbreak from the prison–industrial complex, blending parody, guerrilla aesthetics and queer resistance into a delirious road movie. In the film, a motley gang of queer fugitives,Yoshi, Joy, Susan and Lucy, engineer a daring escape from a carceral state order. As they traverse highways and borderlands, they deploy wigs, crowbars, performance, and guerrilla tactics to expose how race, gender and desire are policed. Along the way, they encounter real figures such as Angela Davis, Miss Major, and CeCe McDonald, collapsing documentary and fiction, theory and spectacle. Screened in dialogue with Pauline Curnier Jardin’s Dress to Kill, the film extends her exhibition’s concerns of costume, performance and subversion, imagining fugitivity as both spectacle and survival.
