CHICAGOâ"€Artemis Singers, www.artemissingers.org, Chicago's lesbian feminist chorus, is a Community Partner of Reeling: The 40th Chicago LGBTQ+ International Film Festival for their screening of Vulveeta, a mockumentary about the reunion of a Lesbian punk band.
The in-person screening of the film is at 9 p.m., Friday, September 23, at the Landmark Theatre, 2828 N. Clark St., Chicago.
The film also will be available for streaming from Sept. 30 to October 6. Tickets are available at https://reelingfilmfest.eventive.org/schedule/62f6860a015ccc005bb9ad3a.
Lead singer Grrrilda Beausoleil is turning 50 and all she wants is a reunion with her 1990s riot grrrl band the one she unceremoniously abandoned 20 years ago just as they were about to make it to the big time. Can they play a big reconciliation show? Vulveeta has to convince the band that she's ready to kill it onstage! Will they get past her new-age aphorisms and believe her? Will they draw a crowd? Will Grrrilda fulfill their dream of making it to the top at long last?
The trailer is at https://vimeo.com/629494852.
The next Artemis Singers concert, Samhain - Encounters through the Veil, will be Saturday, October 29, in Evanston. More information at ArtemisSingers.org .
Founded in 1980, Artemis Singers has been a mainstay in lesbian feminist cultural life.

Audiences have seen Artemis Singers at the Chicago History Museum, the Jay Pritzker Pavilion at Millennium Park (Gay Games) and at numerous universities.
