Cavia is proud to show Rebel Dykes in all its ass-kicking, leather-wearing glory! Followed by a Q&A moderated by Dr. Hilla Dayan, lecturer by Amsterdam University College with Ellyott who made the soundtrack to the film and also lived in Amsterdam and can tell the tales of the 80s Amsterdam punk/squatters scene. Afterwards, Ellyott will captivate us with a dj session to bodily digest such a good documentary.

‘A rabble-rousing documentary set in 1980s post-punk London, UK. The unheard story of a community of dykes who met doing art, music, politics and sex, and how they went on to change their world. A heady mash-up of animation, archive footage and interviews tells the story of a radical scene: squatters, BDSM nightclubs, anti-Thatcher rallies, protests demanding action around AIDS and the fierce ties of chosen families. This is an extraordinarily privileged glimpse into a bygone world by those who not only lived out their politics with heartfelt conviction but lived to tell the tale’. Jay Bernard, BFI Flare, 2021
