Fanny: The Right to Rock is a Canadian documentary film, directed by Bobbi Jo Hart and released in 2021.[1]
The film is a profile of Fanny, an all-female rock band from the 1970s whose members included lesbian music pioneer June Millington.[2] Hart uses more than 80 photographs taken by bandmates’ friend Linda Wolf "to illustrate their unbridled woman power — a tangle of hair, bodies, and a baby — under the roof of Fanny Hill, a house in L.A. that Millington calls a sorority with amps.” [3]
The film premiered at the 2021 Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival, where it was named one of five winners of the Rogers Audience Award.[4] It was subsequently screened at the 2021 Inside Out Film and Video Festival, where it won the award for Best Canadian Film.[5]
