(Cannes) May 14, 2000 - Another bright star of the Troma-verse landed in Cannes today as Damion Dietz, writer, director and co-star of the gay-punk, underground trash cinema classic Fag Hag, arrived at the Troma Love Chapel. As part of the "All the Love You Cannes" festival, Troma is very proud to present the European premiere of Dietz's film Fag Hag on Tuesday, May 16, at 3:30 PM at Palais C.

Fag Hag has been a theatrical success and touted by the Philadelphia International Gay & Lesbian Film Festival as Cinema Veri-gay. Fag Hag is the touching inspirational story of how two hopeless no-talent losers find each other in a cruel world, and through the strength of their deep bond are empowered to become…two hopeless no-talent losers. Featuring a tour de force performance cameo by Wil Wheaton (Stand by Me, TV's Star Trek: Next Generation) as a Christian bookstore manager, Fag Hag pays homage to John Waters while launching a bold new message to the gay community.

Filled with "quotable dialogue," (Outfest '98) and, "foot-stompingly offensive musical numbers," (Philadelphia GLIFF), Fag Hag will screen twice during the Cannes Film Festival. The European premiere is Tuesday, May 16, at 3:30 PM at Palais C. A second screening will be held Friday, May 19, at 11:30 AM at Arcades 3.
