DIVE-IN 48 FILM FESTIVAL DAY ONE

DIVE-IN 48 kicks off this year's Film Festival with a tribute to Børge Nielsen who passed away last November. Børge ran Husets Biograf from 1992 to 2009 and is the person who brough HEDWIG - celebrating its 25th anniversary this year - to Denmark!

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.
