dir Lizzie Borden | 1983 | USA | 80mins
Lizzie Borden's 1983 feature BORN IN FLAMES is an essential masterwork of guerrilla filmmaking, as prescient now as when it was first made and shown here in vintage 16mm.
This DIY film about cycling lesbian girl gang vigilantes who rise up to form a Women's Army to protect women from physical, psychological and economic violence via underground radio and martian confrontation is vital, fierce, funny and incendiary.
Borden leads a politically agitating and artistically rigorous charge, and will leave you yearning to take up arms with these marauding heroes - challenging capitalism, gender, class, race, artistic practice and the very way the we connect with and support one another.
