An aspiring songwriter from a small steel town, Funk Queen Betty Davis changed the landscape for female artists in America. She was a feminist pioneer, taking control of her image and recordings. Then suddenly— she vanished. With just a tantalising amount of footage the film will leave you in awe of the elusive Betty Davis— and wanting more. (Dir. Philip Cox, 2017, UK, France, 54mins) Film screening: pay what you feel on the night.  Night curated by Lucy, Lauren, Freya & Emma as part of Sensoria ‘young bookers’ scheme. http://www.sensoria.org.uk/ 2018 Festival Programme: https://issuu.com/nigelhumberstone/docs/sens18-programme-9-web-pages
