Tracing the influence of the Women-s Movement-s Second Wave on art and life, “THE HERETICS” is the exhilarating inside story of the New York feminist art collective that produced “Heresies: A Feminist Publication on Art and Politics” (1977-1992). In this feature-length documentary, cutting-edge video artist/writer/director Joan Braderman, who joined the group in 1975 as an aspiring filmmaker, reconnects with 24 group members worldwide. By revealing this smart, funny and sexy collective-s history, the film presents a microcosm of the period-s broader transformations, challenging the very terms of gender and power in our time.
“For a movement that was ‘fundamentally leaderless,’ Braderman-s film gives its participants an opportunity to rightfully claim: ‘We thought we could change things – and, in fact, we did.’ ” -The Village Voice
