Born from the New York stage and transformed into a cult cinema landmark, John Cameron Mitchell’s electrifying debut follows Hedwig, a gender-queer East German rock singer chasing recognition—and emotional closure—across America.
The film fuses concert movie, road film, and mythic romance fuelled by Stephen Trask’s blistering songs and Mitchell’s fearless performance. Hedwig and the Angry Inch premiered at Sundance, and won both the Audience and Director’s Awards. It remains a defining work of queer cinema: raw, funny, and defiantly alive.
‘A glam-punk anthem of self-invention—thrilling, transgressive, and deeply moving.’ - Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Presented in celebration of Transgender Day of Visibility in partnership with A Gender Agenda
