She's a Song
The world of amplified guitars and distorted sound is predominantly male-dominated. But if we listen more closely and attentively, the story is different. From the 1950s to the present day, director Francisca Marvão opens the treasure chest of living testimonies, and from it, images and sounds begin to emerge that have never before entered the canon of Portuguese music. The girls are out there... rocking as if there's no tomorrow. "She's a Song" is a journey of discovery through the world of rock in Portugal, in the voices of its illustrious unknowns: the women.

Dramatic Horror!!! Wait, what?? Did you say "dramatic horror"?? IS there such a thing?? I mean, TRULY. Well, if San Francisco-based, Pakistani-born independent filmmaker Dr. Hassan Zee and this film critic have anything to say about it, there IS such a beast as experienced through the director's newest feature film set to officially debut October 4th in the City by the Bay. Folks, indie film will always be a bastion of experimentation and originality, and this film for me fits that bill.
