Pink Palace presents an iconic film from cult queer director Gregg Araki, celebrating frank portrayals of teen alienation, sexuality and punk aesthetic.

Kaboom, the inaugural winner of the Queer Palm at Cannes in 2010, mixes cult sci-fi themes, b-movie vibes, sex comedy pastiche, set to an indie/electro-clash/punk soundtrack, and starring a ridiculously hot cast who navigate the daily pressures of college, partying, dating, and trying not to get kidnapped by a murderous possibly alien cult.

Smith a permanently horny bisexual 18 yr. old freshman who hangs out with his sardonic lesbian bestie Stella, lusts after his clothing optional straight (ish) room mate Thor while getting it on with free spirited London (Juno Temple in sublime form). But one fateful night, Smith believes he has witnessed a murder while tripping on some hallucinogenic cookies and gets drawn into a mystery conspiracy that will not only change his life but also that of the entire planet.

You are the chosen son!

“An erotic blast of sinful flesh, fun and fantasy that you don’t want to stop”
