## [Hedwig and the Angry Inch… and animation](https://animate.org.uk/editorial/2001/09/hedwig-and-the-angry-inch-and-animation/)

John Cameron Mitchell’s trash-glam-rock musical feature [Hedwig and the Angry Inch](https://web.archive.org/web/20020120003012/http://www.get-hed.com:80/), audience award winner at the 2001 Sundance Film Festival, is now on UK release.

Woven into the energetic tale of a transsexual singer’s traumatic quest for her ‘other half’ are segments of highly idiosyncratic animation by Emily Hubley. She is interviewed on New Line Productions website about her work on Hedwig.

There is more information about Emily, her own films and her animating parents John & Faith Hubley on the [MoMA NY](http://www.moma.org/exhibitions/1997/hubley/hubley2.html) website, amongst many others.
