Indigo Girls: It’s Only Life After All with Anna Diem // NOW. HEAR. THIS.
- Sun, May 19
Run Time: 123 min. Release Year: 2024
Tickets $15. The Indigo Girls have been producing game-changing queer folk-rock for the past 40 years. Celebrate the outstanding legacy of the band and the women behind it with this exciting new documentary. Local songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Anna Diem will perform an acoustic set of originals and Indigo Girls songs before the film. With four decades of making music as the iconic folk-rock band Indigo Girls, Amy Ray and Emily Saliers have made their mark as musicians, songwriters, and dedicated activists. They have represented radical self-acceptance to many, leading multiple generations of fans to say, “the Indigo Girls saved my life.” Still, Amy and Emily battled misogyny, homophobia, and a harsh cultural climate chastising them for not fitting into a female pop star mold. With joy, humor, and heart-warming earnestness, Sundance award-winning director Alexandria Bombach brings us into a contemporary conversation with Amy and Emily—alongside decades of the band’s home movies and intimate present-day vérité.

Tickets $25. Seattle-based musician Corey J. Brewer (who performed The Shining Forwards and Backwards at the Tomorrow in December) is back with a new live score performed over the 1927 silent horror comedy film The Cat and the Canary.
