Presented by Oscarbate // Featuring a LIVE performance from Cinematic Choreo!

Music, workouts, melodrama, and of course lots of heavenly bodies mix, mesh, bump and grind in this contemporary story of not giving in and winning on your own terms. In the middle of it all is pretty Samantha (Cynthia Dale, My Bloody Valentine), a young mother and secretary who dreams of running her own workout club. She’s on her way to getting her wish, and with it a second chance at love, when it all starts to go bad because she refuses to buckle under a wealthy competitor. When he tries to buy her out and destroy her growing business, she in turn fights back by publicly challenging him to a televised marathon workout, winner take all! And so, to the tune of driving dance music the battle of the bods is on. Samantha’s happiness, success and dreams are all riding on her ability to withstand a grueling physical contest that also tests her determination, emotional strength and capacity for love.

An infectious, effervescent and escapist dramedy, with a non-stop, high energy soundtrack, it’s no wonder that Heavenly Bodies has become a beloved cable, home videocassette and midnight movie cult classic. Out-of-print for over 30 years, the film now makes its worldwide debut from a new 4K restoration of its original 35mm internegative, courtesy of Fun City Editions.
