Hedwig and the Angry Inch

Hollywood Forever and Cinespia present Hedwig and the Angry Inch, a Pride Month screening celebrating the 25th anniversary of John Cameron Mitchell’s wildly beloved queer punk masterpiece. Directed by Mitchell and released in 2001, the film remains a cult classic for its fearless mix of glam rock, heartbreak, humor, gender play, and theatrical excess. Centered on Hedwig, the “internationally ignored superstar” whose story moves through fame, betrayal, identity, and unfinished emotional business, the film offers an experience that is rowdy, opulent, and unexpectedly tender.

This screening promises the full Cinespia atmosphere: a summer night of cinema, music, community, and playful surprises. Hollywood Forever’s description leans into the film’s crunchy glam-rock spirit, its outlandish sense of style, and its open-hearted celebration of queer stardom. With concessions, treats, and surprises throughout the night, the event is designed as more than a movie screening; it becomes a gathering for fans, friends, and anyone ready to embrace the film’s glittering, rebellious energy. For audiences drawn to cult cinema, Pride Month programming, and stories that turn pain into performance, Hedwig and the Angry Inch offers a vibrant and memorable night under the Los Angeles sky.
