Celebrate Vancouver Pride Weekend with a 25th Anniversary of the critically acclaimed, award-winning rock movie musical HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH, looking filthy and gorgeous as part of its stunning 4K restoration.

The enigmatic John Cameron Mitchell wrote and stars in this iconic musical touchstone as Hedwg, a German emigrant living in a trailer in Kansas who is the victim of a botched sex-change operation. Adapted from the critically acclaimed off-Broadway rock theater hit, “Hedwig and the Angry Inch” tells the story of the “internationally ignored” rock singer, Hedwig, and her search for stardom and love.

‘Hedwig and the Angry Inch’ is a powerful story about identity and creation and pain and love.” (Birth.Movies.Death.)

HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH (John Cameron Mitchell, 2001 / 95 mins / 14A) Hedwig, born male as Hansel in East Berlin, fell in love with an American G.I. and underwent a Gender Reassignment Surgery in order to marry him and flee to the West. Unfortunately, nothing worked out quite as it was supposed to – years later, Hedwig is leading her rock band on a tour of the U.S., telling her life story through a series of concerts at Bilgewater Inn seafood restaurants. Her tour dates coincide with those of arena-rock star Tommy Gnosis, a wide-eyed boy who once loved Hedwig – but then left with all her songs.
