Einfach Machen – She Punks von 1977 bis heute - Punkfilmfest Berlin reloaded

Just Do it – She Punks from 1977 to today
Germany/Switzerland (2024); 89 mins; German original version
director: Reto Caduff
Punk is a promise – of rebellion and self-empowerment! “Don’t babble, do it!” is the motto. What counts is the idea and the courage to put yourself on a stage. And this is especially true for the women in the scene: Östro 430 was founded in Düsseldorf, Mania D, later Malaria!, in West Berlin, and Kleenex, later LiLiput, in Zurich. Their role models come from England and are called X-Ray Spex, The Slits, The Raincoats or Siouxsie Sioux. Songs are created about female role clichés and philistinism, about macho men and dogmatic feminists. It's about female desire and sexual self-determination. And always about conquering freedom - within the male-dominated punk scene, but also in society as a whole.
