Girl in a Band: Tales from the Rock 'n' Roll Front Line
Herself
All too often, every great female rock musician has to answer a predictable question - what is it like being a girl in a band? For many, the sight of a girl shredding a guitar or laying into the drums is still a bit of a novelty. As soon as women started forming their own bands they were given labels - the rock chick, the girl band or one half of the rock 'n' roll couple. Kate Mossman aims to look beyond the cliches of fallen angels, grunge babes and rock chicks as she gets the untold stories from rock's frontline to discover if it has always been different for the girl in a band.

Jubilee
Street Girl
Coincidiendo con el jubileo de la Reina Isabel II, Derek Jarman rueda esta película en la que la Reina Isabel I invoca con ayuda del ocultista John Dee a un espíritu guía llamado Ariel, que les transportará en el tiempo a la Inglaterra de los 70. En esta Inglaterra figurada tomada por el caos, la Reina Isabel II ha sido asesinada, y las pandillas, como la de Amyl Nitrate, Bod, Chaos, Crabs, y Mad, hacen de las suyas por doquier. Jubilee es quizás la película más emblemática del punk, apareciendo en ella iconos de este movimiento como Adam Ant, las Slits o Wayne County.
