WORLD PREMIERE The Lunachicks, an all-female punk band renowned for their unabashed humor and unwavering pro-women ethos, made their mark on NYC’s underground music scene in the ‘90s. A rollercoaster of drugs, romances, and creative conflicts ultimately led to their 2000 breakup, but can love of the music reunite them for one last show? Buoyed by energetic storytelling, gritty '80s-'90s nightclub footage, insightful interviews, and high-voltage performances, this is a must-watch for music history enthusiasts. - Karen McMullen 

The first and second screening will be followed by a Q&A with director Ilya Chaiken, and Lunachicks band members Theo Kogan, Gina Volpe, Chip Engilsh, Sydney Silver and Sindi Benezra Valsamis. Nov. 10  Q&A will be  moderated by comedian Murray Hill.


All in-person screening venues provide sound amplification headphones upon request with venue management. IFC Center can also provide a T-Coil loop for compatible devices.
