Film: The Gold Diggers (1983)
13 May 2010, 7:30 p.m.
A feminist sci-fi musical extravaganza… Gold Diggers is a key film from Eighties feminist cinema. Made with an all-woman crew, it features stunning photography, an awesome score and a radical and experimental narrative structure. As Ruby and Celeste cross paths they come to sense that there could be a link between the male struggle for economic supremacy and the female ideal of mysterious but impotent beauty.
