The Gits Trailer
Rumored to have been descended from Mexican revolutionary Emiliano Zapata, the incredibly magnetic frontwoman had a powerful, soulful voice that belied her inherent shyness and distinguished The Gits from other punk bands of that day.
This riveting documentary is part musical history and part murder mystery, brimming with rare performance footage dating from their Antioch College days through their subsequent move to Seattle just before the world's ears suddenly tuned into the emerging northwest music scene. The Gits would become an integral and influential part of the milieu if largely unsung in comparison to fellow Seattle bands like Nirvana and Soundgarden. But just as they were about to make it big, the band was dealt a mighty blow with the sudden, violent loss of their friend and band member whose lyrics eerily foreshadowed events to come.
Mia's murder became a rallying point for seattle music scene, as the investigation ripped through the community with devastating results, leaving many female musicians feeling momentarily disempowered before turning their insecurity into anger and into a statement that would resonate with women the world over. A celebration of Mia's life as well as a comprehensive testament to the band's greatness as a whole. The film's interviews reflect the enormous respect and love Mia's peers had for her, and also the sadness over her absence that still haunts them today.

About the 941 Theater
The 941 Theater is an independent theater space; the main use is for movie screenings augmented by occasional live theater and music performances. There are not many places in Philadelphia like this and we are certainly the only Movie Theater serving the Northern Liberties, Fishtown, Kensington and Port Richmond areas. We plan to breathe new life into the neighborhood and film community with our theater space.
The bulk of our programming will be first run independent feature films. In addition we will have the ability to host community based events, screenings from local university students and filmmakers and other events that would bring culture to Northern Liberties.
Outside of the regular screening schedule, we are working with local production companies and artists to bring a diverse blend of programming to the 941 Theater. Our first non-film event will be the Big Art Show on Saturday, April 26th, an all day art celebration featuring over 40 artists from all over Philadelphia. We will also be hosting established film programmers both local and national to bring the finest screening selections from around the world.
For the film production industry, the 941 Theater will be available for Film/Video Dailies Screenings with space for full crew and catering, cast and crew screenings, press screenings, Film, video & arts instructional seminars, Ongoing Art or Video Gallery/Installations.
We all agree that film production is good for the economy and the culture of the city. We picture a Philadelphia where film productions of all sizes can be self sustaining: reinforcing the production industry and labor pool. Additionally we picture the 941 Theater as a national destination for first run screenings for the dynamic new cinema of the twenty first century.
The 941 Theater will provide access for the people of Northern Liberties and all of Philadelphia to a broader variety of films by programming films that are not available here because there is no venue for them. Thousands of independent films are released to American and International theaters every year, but unfortunately only a small percentage of those films are screened in Philly.
The 941 Theater has received written support from the Greater Philadelphia Film Office, 1st District Councilman Frank DiCicco, State Representative Mike O’Brien, The Northern Liberties Neighborhood Association as well as several local businesses and artists.
About the 941 Theater Founders:
For the last six years the 941 Theater partners have been producing the Backseat Film Festival with semi-annual events in Philadelphia (Roxy Theater, Triangle Theater), New York (Pioneer Theater) and Baltimore (Creative Alliance Performance Space). Additionally, Backseat Conceptions has been doing business in Philadelphia as a production company for five years and have a good reputation with local film fans as well as vendors who would benefit from a new independent theater in Northern Liberties.
