What's the point of 3D and Cinemara when you've got the only film that comes with an Odorama? Get ready for one of the most legendary collaborations between John Waters and Divine, never before screened in Greece.

"What is an Odorama?" you might ask. It's basically the "scratch and sniff" cards that will be distributed outside the movie theater, although whether you actually want to smell them is up to you. It's a well-known fact that Divine and John Waters were the kings of hilariously contrived bad taste.

During the screening, you will notice numbers flashing by, corresponding to a number on your card so you can smell exactly what's going on: dirty socks, farts, ferret odor and so on.

Featuring Divine as a repressed housewife who discovers her husband is twotiming her, her daughter is pregnant and her son is the foot-fetish pervert who's been breaking the legs of the women around the neighborhood. Don't miss out on this festival's ultimate cult moment! T.Th.
