It’s so weird no one is pumping capital into feminist art, but whatever. Director Sini Anderson has launched a kickstarter campaign to fund the completion of her feature documentary “The Punk Singer,” a beautifully shot film about Kathleen Hanna (Bikini Kill, Julie Ruin, Le Tigre) that promises to enrich the narrative of Riot Grrrl and Third Wave feminism through rare access to this punk icon, as well her friends and collaborators, and archival footage and ephemera. Watch Anderson’s great kickstarter video, repost this link, and please consider backing the project.
Above: My MPC 60 drum-pad sample-assignment chart for the sounds used in Le Tigre’s song “Third Wave Girl” (which became “They Want Us to Make a Symphony Out of the Sound of Women Swallowing Their Own Tongues” on our EP “From the Desk of Mr. Lady”) and a polaroid from 2000-01 of Kathleen (and a punk onlooker).
