She’s a model, a fierce secret agent and the alter ego of superstar RuPaul. Originating in the early 1980s as a series of lofi-no budget mini-films sold on VHS tapes outside of clubs in Atlanta, the character of Starrbooty would eventually merit RuPaul’s first full-length film, Starrbooty The Movie, premiering at film festivals like Chicago’s own historic LGBTQ+ Reeling Festival in 2007. (You can even read an interview with RuPaul about the film via ChicagoPride here). The film would go straight to DVD and two short years later RuPaul’s Drag Race would premiere. Obviously the cultural domination of ‘Drag Race’ cannot be understated. As the show gained popularity, Starrbootywas all but disowned by RuPaul and World of Wonder productions, as the film has become “lost media” with no streaming options and the DVD out of print (oddly enough, however, the website and domain pertaining to the film remain active to this day https://starrbooty.com). This is surely due to the audacious male nudity and adult film stars that make up most of the film.Starrbooty lives on however. Many of the songs RuPaul wrote for the film’s soundtrack have been interpolated into other standouts in the RuPaul discography, such as “Cattitude” by Miley Cyrus and “Peanut Butter” featuring Big Freeida. And now almost 20 years since the film premiered, RuPaul is back with a new film- a theatrical wide release produced by World of Wonder. On the press tour for Stop! That! Train! , RuPaul playfully alludes to the fact that this isn’t the first motion picture she stars in, although Starbooty The Movie is never mentioned by name.Join Gerber Hart for a free screening of this lost film - a DVD copy that is a permanent part of the library catalog. The film screening is free, but donations are welcome to support Gerber/Hart’s public and accessible queer programming!18+ only due to the adult content of the film.Accessibility: Gerber/Hart is located on the second floor of 6500 N Clark Street. There is a staircase just inside the entrance (by the Walgreens) and an elevator at the end of the hallway (past the Howard Brown front desk). - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/chicago/starrbooty-screening-at-gerber-hart/100001991496585898 - **Event Categories**: fitness, Entertainment, Festivals, Sports - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Chicago - **state**: IL - **country**: United States - **location**: Gerber/Hart Library & Archives - **lat**: 41.99997130000001 - **long**: -87.67159769999999 - **full address**: Gerber/Hart Library & Archives, 6500 North Clark Street, Chicago, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Starrbooty Screening at Gerber/Hart - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/78e3e15eaf3b98fed696762259c06eea6a4ce7221e36d06956325c3722a7c411-rimg-w1200-h600-dcffffff-gmir.jpg?v=1781612825 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Starrbooty Screening at Gerber/Hart being held? - **A:** Starrbooty Screening at Gerber/Hart takes place on Wed, 17 Jun, 2026 at 06:00 pm to Wed, 17 Jun, 2026 at 08:00 pm at Gerber/Hart Library & Archives, 6500 North Clark Street, Chicago, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Starrbooty Screening at Gerber/Hart? - **A:** Starrbooty Screening at Gerber/Hart is organized by Gerber/Hart Library and Archives. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Starrbooty Screening at Gerber/Hart", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/78e3e15eaf3b98fed696762259c06eea6a4ce7221e36d06956325c3722a7c411-rimg-w1200-h600-dcffffff-gmir.jpg?v=1781612825", "startDate": "2026-06-17", "endDate": "2026-06-17", "url": "https://allevents.in/chicago/starrbooty-screening-at-gerber-hart/100001991496585898", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Gerber/Hart Library & Archives", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "6500 North Clark Street", "postalCode": "60626", "addressLocality": "Chicago", "addressRegion": "IL", "addressCountry": "US" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "41.99997130000001", "longitude": "-87.67159769999999" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Join us for FREE 18+ screening of Starrbooty The Movie starring RuPaul at Gerber/Hart!", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-08-22", "availabilityEnds": "2026-06-17", "validFrom": "2026-08-22", "lowPrice": "0.00", "highPrice": "0.00", "price": "0.00", "url": "https://allevents.in/chicago/starrbooty-screening-at-gerber-hart/100001991496585898" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/SoldOut", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-08-22", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-08-22", "url": "https://allevents.in/chicago/starrbooty-screening-at-gerber-hart/100001991496585898", "price": 0, "name": "Free - Optional Donation at gerberhart.org" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "GerberHart Library and Archives", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/gerber-hart-library-and-archives/24018233", "description": "Gerber/Hart is one of the largest LGBTQ libraries & archives in the world.
