Overview
Joan Jett. Jane Fonda. Kathleen Hanna. These are just some of the awesome women in the spotlight at Melbourne's newest film festival. Held over three days at the Northcote Town Hall, the inaugural Girls on Film Festival will screen ten feminist-themed flicks, showcasing some of the most memorable female protagonists from the past 35 years in film.
It's an eclectic blend of titles that includes the likes of Heavenly Creatures, Nine To Five and the brilliant anti-teen movie, Heathers. Younger audiences can enjoy Hayao Miyazaki's Ponyo or Niki Caro's Whale Rider. Eye-popping burlesque documentary Exposed, on the other hand, should probably be restricted to the adults.
GOFF will also be hosting a special afternoon social event, complete with music, cosplaying, DJ lessons, a unisex nail-bar and the chance to shoot the shit with women in the Melbourne media scene. Naturally, it's called Girl Germs.
