I want to be Weird
Conceived by Adrienne Grierson, produced by Adrienne Grierson and Heather Millard, directed by Bryja Dogg Fridriksdottor. A portrait of concept artist Kitty Von Sometime as she creates the Weird Girls Project. The Weird Girls - “an extraordinary art event for ordinary girls” - is a one day performance, but actresses are not allowed. From its conception nine years ago by Kitty, The Weird Girls Project has quickly become a national phenomenon in Iceland and every episode is covered by the national TV and print media. Between a pop event and feminist activism, performance art and a goliardic action, the project gives voice and space to woman to freely express themselves in a fabulous and unique carnival. Women are told to turn up to a mystery location, given a costume and directed in a choreographed and filmed performance piece. The recorded piece sometimes will be for posterity only, sometimes for a music video for a band or dj’s. I Want to be Weird premiered to good reviews in Reykjavík, was shown on RUV, Iceland was one of 14 documentaries competing for the title of Best Nordic Documentary at The Nordisk Panorama Awards in Malmo Sweden, representing Iceland. |
