Music on Film Nite: The Punk Singer

KATHLEEN HANNA is a New York City-based artist, best known for her groundbreaking performances as a member of the 90’s punk band, Bikini Kill, and her multimedia group, Le Tigre. Hanna is currently giving lectures and performing with her new band ‘‘The Julie Ruin’.
Lead singer of the punk band Bikini Kill and dance-punk trio Le Tigre, Hanna rose to national attention as the reluctant but never shy voice of the Riot Grrrl movement of the ’90s. She became one of the most famously outspoken feminist icons for a new generation of women and a cultural lightning rod.

The screening will be preceded by “Neris,” a 9-minute student film about a strange creature emerging from a lake, based on a story by H.P. Lovecraft. Starring locals Lynne Atkins, Mike “Bone Daddy” Thomas and Bryn Elizan Harris, “Neris,” was filmed on location at Stewarts Point.
