6/25 HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH
This year's Sundance Audience Award Winner and Best Director.
Adapted from the critically acclaimed off-Broadway theatre hit, Hedwig and The Angry Inch is a punk rock, neo-glam rock musical odyssey. Through a collage of songs, flashbacks and animation, Hedwig tells her life story. Born a boy named Hansel, Hedwig reluctantly submits to a sex change operation to marry an American G.I. and get over the Berlin Wall to freedom. The operation is botched, leaving her with an angry inch. Finding herself high, dry and divorced in a Kansas trailer park, she pushes on to form a rock band, The Angry Inch, and eventually finds the origin of love. Hedwig and The Angry Inch marks the directorial debut of John Cameron Mitchell, who along with composer/lyricist Stephen Trask, created and starred in the off-Broadway production. Hosted by David Edelstein
Guest(s) Producers and Killer Films Founders Christine Vachon (Boys Don't Cry, Happiness, Safe, Swoon, Kids) and or Katie Roumel (Series 7, Kiss Me Guido)

6/18 ABCD
"A family's struggle for cultural identity"
is the story of first generation Asian Indian immigrant children who have grown up in America, and their mother, who is desperately trying in her old age to reconcile her long ago decision to come to America.
