We are very excited to announce that this year’s HMF feature film is “I AM DIVINE.” The film screening will be at Burns Court Cinema in downtown Sarasota on Thursday, May 16, 2013 at 9:30PM. Seats are limited. Tickets are available for only $10 (cash at door only)!

I AM DIVINE is the story of Divine, aka Harris Glenn Milstead, from his humble beginnings as an overweight, teased Baltimore youth to internationally recognized drag superstar through his collaboration with filmmaker John Waters. Spitting in the face of the status quos of body image, gender identity, sexuality, and preconceived notions of beauty, Divine was the ultimate outsider turned underground royalty. With a completely committed in-your-face style, he blurred the line between performer and personality, and revolutionized pop culture. I AM DIVINE is a definitive biographical portrait that charts the legendary icon’s rise to infamy and emotional complexities.
