Girls on Film Festival – #Melbourne – Movies. Parties. Feminism. #GOFF2015 [#geekgirl]
23rd to 25th OCTOBER, 2015.
NOW in its second year, the Girls On Film Festival (GOFF) returns to Melbourne, bringing its signature flavour of films, fun and feminism. Held over three bodacious days in October, the festival’s 2015 line-up is sure to impress.
The impetus behind the creation of GOFF was a celebration of movies that steered away from films made by and about men. What we get instead are films chosen by feminists, made by feminists and you get to watch them – you guessed it – with a swathe of other feminists.
An ultimate party that is “more slumber party than competition, more mixtape than jury selection, more laid back than prestigious,” the Girls on Film Festival is more than just kick-ass films. On offer is live music, poetry, activism, zines, badges and (what we are promised) much more!

#Picasso Mania [#geekgirl]
IN THE AIR – Talk to me about Picasso
PARIS – Without a doubt he is the most famous artist of the XXth century. TheDemoiselles d’Avignon, Guernica are world icons. His life wrought with excitement, his love affairs, his extraordinary productivity (nearly one work per day, so they say, for 80 years), his political commitment. One can not like Picasso (1881-1973) but one is necessarily defined according to Picasso. The artist’s extraordinary popularity has nourished copies, reprints, pastiches, satires. The exhibition presents this “universe” of Picasso”, in wh ich creators as different as David Hockney, Emir Kusturica, Jean-Michel Basquiat or Chéri Samba hang side by side. From Pop Art to Bad Painting, from erotic painting to the political manifesto, there is not a field in which his influence is not present. Picasso went from being a simple mortal to a tutelary deity… • Picasso.mania at the Grand Palais, from 7 October 2015 to 29 February 2016.
