Riding the "Shortbus"

“Shortbus” director John Cameron Mitchell paid tribute to a previous incarnation, singing two songs from the “Hedwig and the Angry Inch” days at a party for “Shortbus” at the Martinez beach off the Croisette, reports indieWIRE’s Brian Brooks. Following the performace, which also featured New York drag act Kiki & Herb (the formerly San Francisco-based Justin Bond and Kenny Mellman), attendees danced to tunes ranging from The Smiths to Bauhaus (Has Cannes ever heard “Bella Lugosi’s Dead” from Bauhaus?).
