In the desert future of 2033, water is scarce, and anarchic hero Tank Girl (Lori Petty) must save the world from the tyranny of the Water & Power Corporation with the help of friends Jet Girl (Naomi Watts) and T-saint (Ice-T), a kangaroo-human hybrid.
Tank Girl uses animation, live-action, animatronics, CGI and more to bring to life the ’90s British indie comic created by Alan Martin and Jamie Hewlett.
Join us for a lively discussion on the many facets of interpreting (and studying) this cult classic, including a focus on the power and role of sand and sandscapes in the film.
‘As a bratty, punked-up sci-fi romp crammed with pop-cult references (everything from Baywatch to Batman, Stiff Records to The Wizard of Oz), Tank Girl has energy to burn.’ – Philadelphia Inquirer
