- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 03 May, 2026 at 09:00 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: The Gits — Édition 20e anniversaire propose une relecture essentielle d’un groupe punk aussi fulgurant que trop longtemps marginalisé. À travers une construction narrative maîtrisée, le film retrace l’ascension de The Gits et de leur chanteuse emblématique, Mia Zapata, figure centrale de la scène alternative de Seattle, dont la voix et la présence scénique ont profondément marqué leur époque avant son décès tragique en 1993.

S’appuyant sur des performances scéniques saisissantes, des archives rarement vues et des témoignages sensibles de proches et de figures marquantes du milieu — dont Joan Jett et Kathleen Hanna — le documentaire évite l’écueil du sensationnalisme pour offrir un portrait nuancé, à la fois intime et politique, d’une artiste et d’un groupe porteurs d’une urgence créative palpable.

Refusant de réduire Zapata à une icône tragique, The Gits interroge la notion d’héritage artistique et la mémoire collective, tout en célébrant la force d’une voix féminine indisciplinée qui continue de résonner. Enrichi de nouveaux éléments visuels et sonores, ce film s’impose comme une œuvre de transmission — à la croisée du cinéma musical, du documentaire d’archives et du manifeste culturel.

The Gits returns with a 20th Anniversary Edition, reigniting the powerful legacy of one of punk rock’s most urgent and underrecognized bands. This gripping documentary traces the meteoric rise of The Gits and their magnetic frontwoman, Mia Zapata — whose fearless voice and raw presence left an indelible mark on the Seattle music scene before her life was tragically cut short in 1993.

Featuring electrifying live performances, rare archival footage, and candid interviews with bandmates, peers, and friends like Joan Jett, Kathleen Hanna, members of 7 Year Bitch and more, The Gits delivers an intimate and unflinching portrait of a band whose sound captured both ferocity and vulnerability. Rather than framing Zapata solely as a tragic figure, the film celebrates her as a visionary artist whose voice still resonates more than three decades later.

With amplified visuals, rare audio, and a renewed urgency in its message, The Gits is more than a documentary — it’s a timeless testament to artistic legacy, community, and resilience.
