Queen Of The Desert
http://www.starlady.com

Starlady is originally from country Victoria but grew up traveling around Australia, including the central deserts, with her family.

She returned to the desert in 2000 to embark on a Peace and healing walk with Arabunna elder Uncle Kevin Buzzacott. The journey transformed her life and inspired her to build relationships with indigenous communities throughout Australia. Her career as a youth worker began in Kintore, 2002, with the Sonic Boom Circus and she has now worked in over 30 indigenous communities across the country. From 2005 to 2009 Starlady lived in Melbourne completing courses in hairdressing, make-up and costume with the aim of passing these skills onto indigenous youth.

Scattered Windows, Connected Doors
http://www.swcd.com

Scattered Windows, Connected Doors is a film about women from urban India.

Eight women. Eight stories. An inspiring documentary capturing the thoughts and choices of these women living in urban India. A series of conversations on love, loss, fear, loneliness, marriage, freedom and what it means to be a woman.

Lineup 2014

Grrl Fest 2014 certainly lived up to the hype generated from the previous explosion onto the Melbourne scene. With an even larger and more diverse audience than last year, GF prevailed once more in putting on the best party-with-a-conscience of the year.

Thank you to all who gave their time and energy to keep the Grrl Fest dream alive.

Viva La Grrl Fest!

Lineup 2013

The birth of Grrl Fest in January 2013 was as chaotic as it was spectacular. After a brief hitch-hiking holiday, Amy Broomstick was inspired by the various “Lady Fest’s” around Borneo and eastern Europe, and gave herself just 3 months to organise Melbourne’s own DIY riot-grrrl inspired festival! The reaction and support for Grrl Fest was immense, attracting over 500 attendees through the doors of the incredibly generous Irene’s Arts Warehouse.

2 storeys, 3 stages, 20 stalls, 30 performances and many hardworking volunteers. All ages and all genders came to celebrate the eclectic talent of the diverse line up.

Grrl Fest wishes to thank all of the people who believed in it from the beginning. And thank the people who helped out, picked up trash, set up stages, print t-shirts, shared the event or brought a friend.

Viva La Grrl Fest.

Amy Broomstick, Grrl Fest Director
