Neatorama reader Steve wrote about The "B" Movie Celebration by The IndyFilm Co-op and CENEMA:
From August 17-19, Franklin, IN will be hosting its first annual B-movie Celebration. Over 40+ films will be screened as well as guest speakers such as Lloyd Kaufman, Jim Wynorski, and Tom Savini.
Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe [wiki], shown to the left, is scheduled to be shown there:
Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe -A mysterious plague, the Purple Death, ravages the earth. Dr. Zarkov, investigating in his spaceship, finds a ship from planet Mongo seeding the atmosphere with dust. Sure enough, Ming the Merciless is up to his old tricks. So it's back to Mongo for Flash, Dale, and Zarkov, this time with ready-made allies waiting: Prince Barin of Arboria and Queen Fria of the frozen northern land of Frigia; where, it so happens, is found polarite, antidote to the plague. But Ming will use all his forces to keep our heroes from thwarting his plans of conquest
