DERBY CRAZY LOVE Derby Crazy Love Welcome to the adrenaline-filled world of women’s roller derby, where badass ladies with names like Smack Daddy, Suzy Hotrod, Raw Heidi, Kamikaze Kitten and Bonnie Thunders smash, shove and crash into one another in a contact sport that is edge-of-the-seat thrilling. This doco takes a look at women in sport and how femininity can have multiple meanings - and in this case it comes with a side of booty blocking. Roller Derby isn’t for the weak at heart (or bones, judging by some of the injuries these girls suffer), and we get a front row seat for the most anticipated rematch in the new derby era. Montreal’s gang of tattooed misfits New Skids on the Block take on UK powerhouse London Rollergirls for a shot at the international championships, while the reigning Gotham Girls of NYC defend their title. The film is jampacked with fascinating personalities: punk rock glam queen Plastik Patrik as the game MC; World Cup MVP Smack Daddy who must recover from a broken leg to compete; her stunning former figure skater girlfriend Apocalipstick; and international stars like Suzy Hotrod. A smart, funny and fascinating ride into the world of roller derby, for lovers of the sport and newcomers alike. Punk rock. Feminist. Inclusive. - The Guardian Derby Crazy Love goes straight to to the heart of the emerging roller derby phenomenon, a vibrant and fun expression of feminist physicality… - The Rover Derby Crazy Love is an inspiration. From the first frame it’s as intoxicating as the star players. - ROW 3 There is now a definitive roller derby doc. - Cult Monteal Make it a night of derby films! See In the Turn before this film. Tickets for the two film package are $30 and available on this page. Followed by the ridiculous antics of Super Showgirl Cosplay and DJ Cunningpants at the Festival Bar. From 9.30pm.
