Since Yesterday: The Untold Story of Scotland's Girl Bands

Information

A feature-length documentary unearthing the Scottish girl bands from 1960 onwards that are missing from the ranks of global success; artists whose work was, and continues to be, ignored by the selective bias of a male-dominated industry. Blending personal anecdotes with a scrapbook-style audiovisual aesthetic, the film takes us on a decade-by-decade adventure, crafting the ultimate visual mixtape. Discover unheard demos, lost archives, and rare performances that celebrate the game-changers, trailblazers, pop stars, post-punks and pioneers who never compromised, and subsequently got lost in time. The film takes a critical look at the barriers women have faced making music in the past, and still face today. It asks how we can inspire young women to make music, if those who do so are continuously erased from our cultural history. Written and narrated by acclaimed performer and recording artist Carla J. Easton, this is a powerful global story told through a local lens. (Age Rating 15+)(Dirs. Carla J. Easton and Blair Young, UK, 2024, 85 mins). Under 16s must be accompanied by an over 18.
