Synopsis: Some of the fiercest new videos these days are being made by and for young women. In this collection of shorts, girls speak out for themselves and express their hopes and fears around the complex issues they face being queer in a hostile world. In SPACEJAZZEROS, girls who skate discover that space isn’t the final frontier, and in TRESPASS, a girl must choose between finding love at a punk show, or her mom’s Avon party. UNTOUCHABLE explores the struggles between inter-generational partners and the powerlessness felt by youth, while FOUR THOUSAND YEARS OF LEAVING HOME uses biblical and contemporary narratives to explore the reality of leaving home.

Description: In this all girl punk rock program we’ve got three new rockin’ music videos: Tribe 8’s Estrofemme, Shrubbery’s Another Beautiful Thing, and Stone Fox’s Loose Composure. Then, in Lez B. Friends, a biker gang torments straight people by kidnapping their children, selling them to lesbian couples, and making them into sex slaves. Plus Lucy Thane's She’s Real, Worse Than Queer, a video-documentary by and about dykes who find in punk rock a culture and a life they can tolerate. Performers include Fifth Column, Team Dresch, Tribe 8, g.b. jones, the legendary Phranc, and many more.
