Sisters with Transistors
Directed by French American filmmaker Lisa Rovner, this 2020 documentary probes the lives of women pioneers in electronic music. The too-cool lineup of featured musicians includes Doctor Who theme composer Delia Derbyshire, "deep listener" Pauline Oliveros, theremin virtuoso Clara Rockmore, and Wendy Carlos, the first trans woman to win a Grammy. All proceeds from this screening of the beep-boop film will benefit Synth Library Portland, an electronic music education nonprofit that promotes sonic experimentation within underserved communities.
