“I think there’s something really interesting and magical about sitting in a room full of gay people watching a gay film,” said James Nadeau, executive director of the Boston LGBT Film Festival. “I remember seeing ‘Hedwig [and the Angry Inch]’ for the first time in a theater in Berlin, in a room full of gay people, and it’s an odd experience because you realize that you’re not the only one getting the joke.”
