GAME GIRLS follows several women through America’s melting pot of dysfunction: Los Angeles’ skid row. They are estranged daughters, lost mothers, or both, trying to fight their way out of an intergenerational history of drugs, poverty and trauma.
Through a unique creative process, based on a 18-months-long drama-therapy workshop with the women, director Alina Skreszweska will create a collaborative portrait of lives below the radar of mainstream society.
Alina Skreszweska has already made two successful films about Skid Row: Songs From The Nickel (2010), a feature documentary which premiered at Visions du Réel (Nyon, Switzerland) and won the Prize for a Best Documentary at Athens International Film & Video Festival (Ohio, USA), as well as Best Film at Document 9 of Glasgow, Sibiu Award at Astra Film festival Romania, and Special Mention of the Jury at Festival Films de Femmes de Créteil 2011. And TV-documentary Traviesos (2013), which was broadcasted on ZDF/Arte in Europe.
With GAME GIRLS, Alina focuses on women and, for the first time, she includes the protagonists themselves in the writing process of the film.
