Overview

Part of the 

strand.

A revealing, funny and enraging documentary tracking the history of Scottish pop from the 1960s to the present via the women who so often have been brushed out of that history.

Featuring musicians, activists, artists and experts, this scrapbook panorama view of Scottish pop music explores the many bands, cliques and movements that emerged in the country across decades and the many challenges faced by incredibly talented women in a male-dominated industry and world.

We are delighted to collaborate with Girls on Film to present this terrific Scottish work as our Closing Night film at the Festival. 

– Paul Ridd

Presented by Girls on Film and EIFF.
