Just as punk created a space for bands such as the Slits and Poly
Styrene to challenge 1970s norms of femininity, through a
transgressive, strident new female-ness, it also provoked
experimental feminist film makers to initiate a parallel,
lens-based challenge to patriarchal modes of film making. In this
book, Rachel Garfield breaks new ground in exploring the
rebellious, feminist punk audio-visual culture of the 1970s,
tracing its roots and its legacies. In their filmmaking and their
performed personae, film and video artists such as Vivienne Dick,
Sandra Lahire, Betzy Bromberg, Ruth Novaczek, Sadie Benning, Leslie
Thornton, Abigail Child and Anne Robinson offered a powerful,
deliberately awkward alternative to hegemonic conformist
femininity, creating a new "punk audio visual aesthetic". A vital
aspect of our vibrant contemporary digital audio visual culture,
Garfield argues, can be traced back to the techniques and forms of
these feminist pioneers, who like their musical contemporaries
worked in a pre-digital, analogue modality that nevertheless
influenced the emergent digital audio visual culture of the 1990s
and 2000s.
