VIDEO, BLACK AND WHITE, MONO, 15 MINUTES, USA, ENGLISH / DIRECTOR/CINEMATOGRAPHER/EDITOR: SADIE BENNING / MUSIC: BIKINI KILL / PRINT SOURCE/RIGHTS: VIDEO DATABANK / SCREENING FORMAT: DIGITAL BETACAM, 1992
Girl Power is a vision of self-determination and radical girlhood, set to the sound of leading ‘riot grrrl’ band Bikini Kill. As a teenager, Benning would skip school and go on solitary adventures, building a world inside her head with her own rules, imaginary friends and make-believe love. Benning rejoices in these personal rebellions against school, the expectations of her family and more broadly the stereotypes proscribed to teenage girls.
