ABOUT THE FILM
When Adelaide Norris (Jean Satterfield), the black revolutionary founder of the Woman’s Army, is mysteriously killed, a diverse coalition of women—across all lines of race, class, and sexual orientation—emerges to blow the system apart. Filmed guerrilla style on the streets of pre-gentrification New York, BORN IN FLAMES is a Molotov cocktail of feminist futurism that’s both an essential document of its time and radically ahead of it.
Topic/content warning: Racism, Feminism, Revolution, Violence, Murder
Info: Docu-fiction feature, 1h20, 1983, English
Thanks to the Film Foundation and the Hollywood Foreign Press. Film courtesy of the director
WORKSHOP
The screening will be followed by a workshop facilitated by Clare Baines (she/her), the founder of Crip Club, a podcast to tackle ableism behind the camera, on-screen and in cinemas. Pirate the Radio is an invitation to subvert society through the medium of radio. Due to limited space capacity, there are only 30 places available for the workshop.
The workshop is accessible to people attending the screening.

FILM CLUB COLLECTIVE RAGE
collective rage is a monthly film club, by and for marginalised people, taking place at the Vagina Museum. collective rage aims to screen films from under-represented filmmakers and give the collective agency. Watching films is never a passive experience. collective rage film club is a form of cinema therapy, offering a safe space for personal expression and healing. Through workshops and activities led by artists, filmmakers, and social advocates, attendees are invited to engage, connect, and find solace in the power of storytelling.
Genesis
collective rage emerged from our own rage towards the current state of society and cinema. collective rage is thought of as a shape-shifter cinema experience, like the divinity Nǎga, a fluid creature oscillating between snake and human forms. Rage is powerful. Rage is beautiful. Together, let’s slough our rage into a joyful, positive embodiment.
