THE HERETICS uncovers the inside story of the Second Wave of the Women’s Movement for the first time in a feature film. Joan Braderman, director and narrator, follows her dream of becoming a filmmaker to New York City in 1971. By lucky chance, she joins a feminist art collective at the epicenter of the 1970’s art world in lower Manhattan. In this first person account, THE HERETICS charts the history of a feminist collective from the inside out. The Heresies Collective, published HERESIES; A Feminist Publication on Art and Politics from 1977-1992. THE HERETICS focuses on the Heresies Collective as a microcosm of the larger international Women’s Movement in which thousands of small, private groups of women met together to consider their situation -- as women in a man’s world -- and to devise strategies for unlocking their potential.
Director Joan Braderman is an award-winning video artist and filmmaker whose work is in such permanent collections as MoMA, the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, the Institute of Contemporary Art in London, and the Georges Pompidou Center in Paris. Her films and videos
