Fix Your Hearts or Die: A Trans Cinema Celebration at Nitehawk Cinema

Series Site

Trans, non-binary, and gender variant people have always existed and will always continue to exist. Their presence in film, in front of and behind the camera, can be traced all the way back to the early 1900s. FIX YOUR HEARTS OR DIE is a celebration of the many decades of work that trans, non-binary and gender variant folks have contributed to cinema: from Edward D. Wood Jr.’s groundbreaking GLEN OR GLENDA to new and incredibly exciting work from filmmakers such as Glamhag, Alice Maio Makay and Henry Hanson.

Co-curated by the brilliant film historian, programmer and filmmaker Elizabeth Purchell (with contributions from Film Programmer Shayna Maci Warner), this program will take you on a journey through various genres from teen comedy, thriller, horror, animation, XXX, documentaries and everything in between, all made special by trans people. All ticket purchases include an optional donation to Advocates for Trans Equality.
