Lupe is a New York girl roaming through the derelict Bowery of the late ‘70s. Lupe, who keeps getting into trouble, discovers her true home: the CBGB Club and its crazy punks. This animation movie invents a new narrative by using the full potential of immersive creation.
Directed jointly by two old friends, Nico Casavecchia and Martin Allais, BattleScar features a whirlwind of music and images that immerse us into the heart of New York’s 1970s punk scene. We follow two women, Lupe and Debbie, hoping to launch a punk band together and get a career in music. The work consists of three ten-minute episodes. After screening the first episode at GIFF in 2018, the Festival will present the complete series this year: BattleScar – Punk was Invented by Girls offers a unique narrative and plays with VR, showing a series of dioramas that evoke a theater stage, while being immersed in elements that loom such as texts, interjections, drawings… A means of bringing to life the music and journal of one of the two heroines.
