Sisters With Transistors (PG)

Dir. Lisa Rovner | 2020 | 86 mins | UK

Sisters With Transistors is the remarkable untold story of electronic music’s female pioneers, composers who embraced machines and their liberating technologies to utterly transform how we produce and listen to music today.

The film maps a new history of electronic music through the visionary women whose radical experimentations with machines redefined the boundaries of music, including Clara Rockmore, Daphne Oram, Bebe Barron, Pauline Oliveros, Delia Derbyshire, Maryanne Amacher, Eliane Radigue, Suzanne Ciani, and Laurie Spiegel.

This film contains a sequence of flashing lights which might affect customers who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy.

‘A vibrant and exciting film… imbued with a spirit of  innovation, imagination and defiance against the odds.’
Sophie Brown Juror CPH:DOX NEXT: WAVE AWARD

‘A magical, important film’
Jim Kolmar, SXSW
