Jacob Burns Film Center: Movie Musicals Since 1955: Hedwig and the Angry Inch

Raised a boy in East Berlin, Hedwig (John Cameron Mitchell) undergoes a traumatic personal transformation in order to emigrate to the U.S., where she reinvents herself as an “internationally ignored” but divinely talented rock diva inhabiting a “beautiful gender of one.”

Hedwig and the Angry Inch will be accompanied by a lecture from Jeff Hughes, graduate of the Martin Scorsese Department of Cinema Studies at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts

This film is part of the After the Golden Age: Movie Musicals Since 1955 series.
