Cave Girls (film)

Cave Girls is a 1984 New York No Wave underground film by Kiki Smith (co-directed with Ellen Cooper)[1] created on Super 8 between 1981 and 1984.

Cave Girls, as an independent film, emerged out of a loose New York City female collective that included Kiki Smith, Ellen Cooper, Cara Brownell, Bush Tetras, Ilona Granet, Marnie Greenholz, Julie Harrison, Becky Howland, Virge Piersol, Judy Ross, Bebe Smith, Teri Slotkin, Y Pants and Sophie VDT.

[4] Cara Brownell and Julie Harrison produced a video broadcast of Cave Girls for Colab's artists’ TV series on Manhattan Cable called Potato Wolf.

Kiki Smith refers to Cave Girls as an unfinished ersatz documentary, like the 1964 A Hard Day’s Night movie, that starred the Beatles.

Part of Cave Girls includes Bush Tetras music playing over long passages of out of focus, foggy, visually noisy, action.
