Dear Shaded Viewers,

Tonight is the night when kaleidoscopically colourful designer and artist Fred Butler introduces her choice of film 'The Cockettes' on Thursday 25th August at the Town Hall Hotel. Fred is the third co-host in the Test Presents series following in the footsteps of Richard Nicoll and Julie Verhoeven who introduced Clouzot's Inferno and Fassbinder's The Bitter Tears of Petra Von Kant respectively. The designer will be discussing why she has chosen the documentary on the gender-bending 1970's San Francisco based performance troupe with the Test Presents team and answering questions from the audience after the screening. Tickets can be purchased through http://www.etickets.to/buy/?e=7189 and for more info you can go to http://testmag.co.uk/test-presents/
