Teenage
USA, 2013, 78 minutes
Director: Matt Wolf

'Teenagers' didn't always exist. In this living collage of rare archival material, filmed portraits, and voices lifted from early 20th Century diaries, a struggle erupts between adults and adolescents to define a new idea of youth. Inspired by punk author Jon Savage's book, Teenage gives voice to young people from the first half of the 20th - from party-crazed Flappers and hip Swing Kids to zealous Nazi Youth and frenzied Sub-Debs. By the end of World War II, they were all 'Teenagers': a new idea of youth.
