Vid: Black Steel (Born in Flames; WisCon 36 premiere)

[futuransky]

The WisCon vid party (wiscon_vidparty) was on Friday. I premiered this vid––it's for the 1983 film Born in Flames, which I encourage you all to see, but it should be quite watchable as a vid about the feminist revolution if you don't know the source.

Black Steel
Music: Black Steel by Tricky (original song by Public Enemy; vocals by Martina Topley-Bird)
Video: Born in Flames (dir. Lizzie Borden, 1983)
Edited by Lila Futuransky
"The right to violence is like the right to pee. You've got to have the right place and the right time." Revolutionary becoming in a past speculative future: a transformative homage to Lizzie Borden's 1983 film Born in Flames.
