Since Yesterday[1] [2]tells the story of the women who pioneered as members of all-girl bands in Scotland from the 1960s-2010s and asks the questions 'why are they not remembered?' and 'what would have happened if they were?'. It takes a critical look at the structural barriers and risks female musicians face in the music industry. [3][4]
Focusing on the celebration of girl-bands and their importance to cultural history and emphasizing the value of togetherness and female solidarity, the film also shines a light on the latent misogyny the women experienced.[3] [5]The film features interviews and personal anecdotes, reflections and archival performance clips from many of the artists and is narrated by Carla Easton of Teen Canteen[6][7][8]
The film was funded with support from Screen Scotland [9] and a crowd-sourced campaign.
The film had its premier at the 2024 Edinburgh Film Festival.[10][11] and a limited release of screenings UK wide in October 2024.
