GIRLS ROCK! movie opens at SIFF
--------------------------------------------
Shane King and Arne Johnson’s
Girls Rock!
at SIFF Cinema
and the JBL Theater at the Experience Music Project in Seattle, WA
SIFF Cinema
is proud to present
Girls Rock! with the Experience Music Project and the Rock
‘n’ Roll Camp for Girls.
At Rock 'n' Roll Camp, girls ranging in age
from eight to 18 are taught that it's OK to sweat like a pig, scream
like a banshee, wail on their instruments with complete and utter
abandon, and that "it is 100% okay to be exactly who you are." The
girls have a week to select a band, an instrument they may have
never played before, and write a song. In between, they are taught
by indie rockers - Carrie Brownstein from Sleater-Kinney and Beth
Ditto of the Gossip - various lessons of empowerment from
self-defense to anger management. At the end of the week, all the
bands perform a concert for more than 700 people. The film follows
several campers: Laura, a Korean adoptee obsessed by death metal;
Misty, who is emerging from a life of meth addiction, homelessness,
and gang activity; and Amelia, an eight-year-old who writes
experimental rock songs about her dog Pipi. What happens to the
girls as they are given a temporary reprieve from being sexualized,
analyzed, and pressured to conform is truly moving and
revolutionary.
