FILM SYNOPSIS

The director of But I'm a Cheerleader gets even more outrageous with this revolutionary romantic comedy about the C(I)A (Clits in Action), queer feminist radicals reclaiming the streets for grrrls everywhere!

Wickedly talented director Jamie Babbit once again has her finger on the pulse of queer culture with this wry romantic comedy in which anarchic punk twenty-somethings vivaciously vandalize patriarchal symbols under the name of the C(I)A. Fresh out of high school, mundane lesbian Anna (the charming Melonie Diaz, Raising Victor Vargas) has no direction or motivation. Having recently broken up with her girlfriend, she is the maid of honor at her picture-perfect sister's wedding and works a monotonous job at a plastic surgery clinic. Although her family and coworkers try to give her life advice, it's not until she meets foxy Sadie (Nicole Vicius, Half Nelson) as she's spray-painting empowering statements on Anna's office window that she wakes up and finds a purpose. Intrigued, she follows Sadie down a seedy back alley to her guerilla girls' headquarters and meets the other members -- angst-laden artist Meat (Deak Evgenikos), brainchild Shulasmith (Carly Pope) and ally transman Aggie (Lauren Mollica). Even though these rebels are a bit slapdash, their down-with-the-man attitude and infectious style has the precocious baby-dyke fired up and joining the fight! As the estrogen flows during a crucial road trip, frolicking friends and alluring glances ignite a steamy romance between Anna and Sadie that could upset the delicate order of the C(I)A. Enlisted in the Clits' cause is an all-star lesbian supporting cast including Daniela Sea (star of "The L Word"), Guinevere Turner and Jenny Shimizu (recipient of PIGLFF 2006's Lesbian Icon Award) with cameos by Clea Duvall and Melanie Lynskey. Set to the inspiring riot grrl music of Sleater-Kinney, Bikini Kill and Le Tigre, Itty Bitty Titty Committee isn't your traditional feminist film: instead, it's an ode to grrl power for the gender-bending queer punk generation.
