Filmmaker and photographer Katrina del Mar has been documenting the streetwise toughgirls of Manhattan and Brooklyn for going on two decades. Her unheralded butch opus the GANG GIRL TRILOGY imagines the city as an escapist playground free of men, where rival gangs of lesbian bikers, boarders, surfers and skaters call the shots. Del Mar draws from Russ Meyer and John Waters, but with a commitment to a distinctly personal sort of chaos. The films also unconsciously acts as a showcase for a rapidly changing Manhattan  an attempt to abscond from the concerns of the city and into a daydream of queer solidarity, leather, and raucous, wall-to-wall punk soundtracks.

GANG GIRLS 2000
Dir. Katrina del Mar, 1999
US, 27 mins
A world without men featuring four Dangerous and Foxy gangs!
The Glitter Girls, The Sluts, The Blades, and The Ponies four female gangs wreak havoc upon the Lower East Side in Katrina del Mars first film. Filmed in GlitterVision on a borrowed 8mm camera, GANG GIRLS arch voiceover performances recall 60s JD films, while the filmmaking has the visceral edge of 80s and early 90s experimental and riot grrrl filmmakers. Featuring a climactic oceanside battle and music by Fugazi, Lunagirls and many more.

SURF GANG
Dir. Katrina del Mar, 2005
US, 25 mins
GREY GARDENS meets THE WARRIORS.  the filmmaker
Del Mars frenetic Rockaway-set sequel led her to cast Kembra Pfahler of glam rock group The Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black (the only person she knew who could surf) as a young woman who paddles out and vanishes in the waves, leading her younger sister to start an ultraviolent gang of Ruffnecks.

HELL ON WHEELS GANG GIRLS FOREVER
Dir. Katrina del Mar, 2010
US, 35 mins
ALL WHEELS ALL THE TIME
A massive ensemble cast brings the Gang Girl trilogy to a cacophonous close. HELL ON WHEELS takes place in a very different New York than GANG GIRLS did in 1999  this time in HD. The same ribald energy pulses through this third chapter though, as it voyages between roller derbies and motorcycles and bare-fisted brawls.

Special thanks to Katrina del Mar and Kristen Fitzpatrick.
