Sisters With Transistors

A film by Lisa Rovner
(USA, 2020, 90 min.)

1 show for this event

An original documentary exploring the crucial role of women in the birth and development of electronic music. Through a never-before-seen narrative that spans the twentieth century, the film celebrates the pioneering work of visionary female artists who experimented with technology to make their way in the music industry. Introducing such figures as Clara Rockmore, a virtuoso theremin performer, and Delia Derbyshire, composer of the Dr. Who theme song, Laurie Anderson’s narrative voice presents the stories of extraordinary women whose creativity changed the way in which we think about genres (and gender) when it comes to music and society.

In case of bad weather, the event will be hosted at the DAMSLab Auditorium in Piazzetta Pier Paolo Pasolini 5/b. Follow the updates on Gender Bender’s social networks.
