Noel Coward

As the Queen departed Westminster Abbey to the shouts of "Vivat Regina!" trumpets sounded and church bells pealed. Enraptured crowds cheered as the stately coaches of seventy-four foreign powers made their way along the coronation route. Despite the downpour, Queen Salote of Tonga rode in an open carriage, the only head of state to do so. An enormous woman, she waved her huge, fleshy arms to greet bystanders and completely overshadowed the frail little man sharing her carriage.

"What's sitting across from her?" someone asked.

"Her lunch," said Noel Coward.

Girl Power

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.
