Event Description
The Punk Singer

Country: USA
Director: Sini Anderson

“That girl she holds her head up so high, I think I wanna be her best friend, yeah.” So go the lyrics to Bikini Kill’s punk rock “Rebel Girl.” In the 90s feminist activist Kathleen Hanna was the very girl she sang about, and she spearheaded the Riot Grrrl movement, confronting sexism in the media. But she stopped performing when diagnosed with Lyme disease. This bio-doc about Hanna utilizes 20 years of archival footage – interviews with Le Tigre’s Johanna Fateman, Sonic Youth’s Kim Gordon, Joan Jett, Hanna’s husband (and Beastie Boy) Adam Horowitz, and more. (2013; 80 min)

With live music.
