From the Back of the Room: @fter Midnite

Midnite show (12/9) featuring a live performance by Troubled Sleep (NYC)(ex-Zombie Dogs) and with director Amy Oden in person to discuss the film. Co-presented by Ladyfest Boston.

Although it is often credited with spurring the "third wave" of feminism, Riot Grrrl seemed to many to be a blip in the media. Riot Grrrl paved the way for the more mainstream "girl power" phenomenon, but was ultimately forgotten until recently. Books and films have now been released on the subject, but in the scramble for commemoration, many women who were predecessors or contemporaries of Riot Grrrl have been ignored.  This film tackles the past thirty years of female involvement in Do It Yourself music, and aims to give a more complete picture of how women have participated in the D.I.Y. community, and how it affects their daily lives.
