In this time of endless attacks on women this is a rallying cry to acknowledge the only thing that is going to bring us together - ART...as the universal salve to all of our traumas.\n\nLYDIA LUNCH - The War is Never Over by Beth B is the first career-spanning documentary retrospective of Lydia Lunch\u0027s confrontational, acerbic and always electric artistry. As New York City\u0027s preeminent No Wave icon from the late \u002770s, Lunch has forged a lifetime of music and spoken word performance devoted to the utter right of any woman to indulge, seek pleasure, and to say \u0022fuck you!\u0022 as loud as any man. In this time of endless attacks on women this is a rallying cry to acknowledge the only thing that is going to bring us together - ART...as the universal salve to all of our traumas.\n\nIn 2017, Lydia Lunch and filmmaker Beth B joined forces to create LYDIA LUNCH - The War Is Never Over a retrospective of Lunch\u0027s confrontational, acerbic and always electric spoken word performance and music. The film frames Lunch\u0027s work through the lens of the various philosophical themes that have obsessed her for years to enlighten and empower women to voice the unheard and to break the cycle of violence toward women throughout the world. Lydia Lunch is the psycho-sexual transgressive who revoked patriarchal expectations of what a female performer might mean, while forging a vocabulary of rare emotional honesty, philosophy and humor.\n\nDirector Beth B has known and worked with No Wave legend Lydia Lunch since the late \u002770s when they broke boundaries in New York City, confronting audiences with uncensored poetry, music and films. Reflecting on the groundbreaking defiance Lydia Lunch has personified for over 30 years, she is a survivor who creates a dialogue of universal truth through her music and performances. In 1984, she penned the subversive and prescient spoken word piece, \u0022Daddy Dearest\u0022, defying the gag order and spoke out about the sexual abuse she suffered as a young girl at the hands of her father. Lunch continues to expose the patriarchy, sexual abuse, the cycle of violence, and corporate greed with stubborn resistance.\n\nIn 1976, at age sixteen, Lydia Lunch arrived in the bankrupted ruins of NYC with the killer instincts of a born survivor, inspired by the ravings of Lester Bangs in Creem Magazine, the Velvet Underground\u0027s sarcastic wit, the glamour of the New York Dolls, and the poetic scat of Patti Smith\u0027s Piss Factory. Having escaped a disrupted and abusive childhood, Lunch\u0027s refusal to submit to anyone\u0027s will led her to forge her own reality on stage with the unprecedented brutality of Teenage Jesus And The Jerks - a central pillar of the No Wave music scene and a legendary name to this day. Everyone from Alan Vega and Martin Rev (Suicide), to the future luminaries of Sonic Youth, would embrace Lunch as the violent heartbeat of their art\/music rebellion. When Brian Eno chose to produce the No New York compilation of 1978, Lunch was there as the shrieking voice and guitar fronting one of the most influential bands of the era: Teenage Jesus And The Jerks.\n\nLYDIA LUNCH - The War is Never Over includes interviews with Lydia Lunch as well as some of her collaborators and colleagues including: Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth; performance artist Kembra Pfahler; Teenage Jesus bass player, Jim Sclavunos; Donita Sparks from L7; famed DJ and musician Nicolas Jaar; Art Critic Carlo McCormick; Filmmaker Richard Kern and a long list of other groundbreaking artists connected to Lunch\u0027s past and present.\n\nFilming in rehearsal and on tour with her band Retrovirus, the behind-the-scenes footage reveals a side of Lunch\u0027s personality that has been unseen. Her warmth and generosity in private interactions along with hilarious banter in the rehearsal studio with band members contrasts wonderfully with her brash, assaultive style of performance.","wins":0,"nominations":null,"casts":[{"name":"Ron Athey","code":"nm0040475","characters":null},{"name":"Bob Bert","code":"nm2494917","characters":"Self"},{"name":"Tim Dahl","code":"nm5082735","characters":"Self"},{"name":"Nicolas Jaar","code":"nm4111273","characters":"Self"},{"name":"Richard Kern","code":"nm0449492","characters":"Self"},{"name":"Lydia Lunch","code":"nm0526120","characters":null},{"name":"Carlo McCormick","code":"nm1495225","characters":"Self"},{"name":"Thurston Moore","code":"nm0601952","characters":"Self"},{"name":"Kembra Pfahler","code":"nm0447181","characters":"Self"},{"name":"Henry Rollins","code":"nm0738433","characters":null},{"name":"Donita Sparks","code":"nm0816978","characters":"Self"},{"name":"J.G.
