Making its Akoostik debut will be the documentary Her Sound, Her Story.
Four years in the making, the film is an intimate conversation unveiling the personal experiences, histories and significant social impacts of women in the Australian music industry.
Featuring more than 45 artists spanning six decades, its unique narrative brims with rage, strength, beauty and triumph: a powerful dialogue that extends beyond the music industry to ask, "Where do we want women's voices to sit in the world today?”
Featuring conversations with artists including Tina Arena, Julia Stone, Renee Gayer, Jen Cloher, Mojo Juju, Simona Castricum, Sampa the Great, Emma Donovan and many more.
Her Sound, Her Story was inspired by the rising conversation about gender inequality within the music industry, and conceived and conducted by Melbourne artists and storytellers Claudia Sangiorgi Dalimore and Michelle Grace Hunder.
In a survey of unprecedented scope, the film documents women of diverse ages, genres, sexual orientations, ethnicity and careers across many facets of industry.
Through interviews, animations, music and text, the film aims to highlight positive messaging and spark social change, to tear down stigmas and continue women’s current, historic push to the forefront.
Her Sound, Her Story navigates the unique challenges faced by women and sounds a collective voice beyond perceived boundaries of style, age and race.
Through the inspiration of unique stories and shared experience, the documentary provides a platform of solace and nurtures a deeper sense of connective community.
Ultimately, Her Sound, Her Story is an optimistic portrayal of the power of creativity over adversity.
In looking to the future, it aims to inspire the next generation of young women to new and unprecedented aspirations.
Her Sound, Her Story will screen at Akoostik on Friday, October 19 at 10.45pm.
