The Cinema will host a screening of You Don't Nomi (Jeffrey McHale, U.S. 2019, 92 min.) as part of Anomaly—The Rochester Genre Film Festival, preceded by It's Not Custard (Kate McCoid, U.K. 2018, 6 min.): "Louise suffers unrelenting acne and continual bullying, everywhere she goes. After wishing to ease her suffering, she awakes to find her acne gone… but wishes always come with unexpected side effects."

Diving deep into the evolution of a cult classic, director Jeffrey McHale's wildly entertaining documentary offers up an affectionate look at the journey of Paul Verhoeven's trashtastic showbiz saga Showgirls, as it overcame a disastrous theatrical release to find a following amongst a community of adoring fans.

In tracing Showgirls' journey from notorious flop to cult classic and unlikely artistic resurrection, You Don't Nomi takes a thought-provoking and entertaining look at an unforgettable piece of American popular culture and the surprising ways we connect with film and each other.
