Film and music from some very talented women and exploring the hurdles in front of women in music comes to Darlington
Darlington Film Club and Noisy Daughters (brought to you by Tracks) are joining forces to bring an exclusive screening of award-winning documentary film Play Your Gender. The Forum Music Centre Darlington hosts the screening on Friday 6th April.
The film centres on musician Kinnie Starr investigating why only 5% of music producers are women, even though many of the most bankable and well known pop stars are female. With insight from Sara Quinn of Tegan & Sara, Melissa Auf der Maur of The Smashing Pumpkins and Hole, Patty Schemel of Hole, Chantal Kreviazuk, and a great deal more of music’s most talented women this is a film that explores a greatly relevant topic.
There’s even a couple of live performances from a two of our region’s most talented musical women, as Heather Story’s singer songwriter style is joined by the looping layers and quirky sounds of Girl From Winter Jargon for a truly special event.
Play Your Gender is at Forum Darlington on Friday 6th April.
