REBEL DYKES

Screening Thursday, February 12, 2026, 7:00 PM @ Cinestudio 

Synopsis: Rebel Dykes returns in all its ass-kicking, leather-wearing glory. The documentary follows a tight-knit group of friends who met at Greenham Common peace camp and went on to become artists, performers, musicians and activists in London. A heady mash-up of animation, archive footage and 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 family. This is an extraordinarily privileged glimpse into a bygone world by those who not only lived out their politics with heartfelt conviction but lived to tell the tale.  Warning: Explicit content.

“Its importance for future generations of queer women will be vital.” – Elizabeth Aubrey, Empire Magazine

“This boisterous oral history of a little-known underground London lesbian scene which spawned from a collision between punk and feminism is a blast.” – Wendy Ide, Screen International
