GALLANT GIRLS + closing party
(Barbara Teufel/Germany/2002/95mins)
(Thurs 12th/8pm/£4/£3)

Late 80s, where were you? This group of radical feminist lesbians were certainly not flicking through the style magazines. We are talking queercore via grunge meets Pete Burns post op. Prior to the fall of the Berlin Wall, men and women,gay and straight, worked to bring about change in society through direct political action. Filmmaker and original scene member Barbara Teufel narrates, interviews former comrades and recreates pockets of time as experienced by the 'female knights', or 'gallant girls'. Sharing everything- beds, bank accounts and the revolution- they struggled to carry out their daily dose of street activism against capitalism. Authenticity is very hard to find nowadays, so take a leaf out of these ladies' diaries.

Followed by a party in the bar with DJs, dancing and a raffle!
