One of the hits from 2021 BFI Flare Festival, Rebel Dykes follows a tight-knit group of friends who met at Greenham Common peace camp and became artists, performers, musicians and activists in London.A hot, heady, punky, sexy mash-up of animation, previously unseen rare archive footage and new interviews tells the story of a radical scene: squatters, BDSM nightclubs, anti-Thatcher rallies, protests demanding action around AIDS and the fierce ties of chosen families. Co-creators Harri Shanahan and Siân A. Williams have created one of the most innovative and inspiring debut documentaries of 2021.

One of the film’s producers, Siobhan Fahey, will hold an oral history workshop from 6.15pm with film start at 7.30pm.
