Director: Emma Broderick

As shown as part of the LEE MILLER curation at Tate Britain with Girls In Film. There Is A Woman In The Attic is a personal response to seeing the LEE MILLER exhibition at Tate Britain. It is a reflective piece exploring the feeling of inequality about knowing details about an artist or celebrities personal life after viewing their work, yet knowing they don’t and might never know you. In retracing Miller's own footsteps and questioning this power balance and relationship, the film poses an examination into identity and asks how well we can really know a stranger as well as how well do we know ourselves.

There are personalities who, by their very presence, bring people together to revive and nurture the memory and identity of a nation. Zita Kelmickaitė was one such person. This is a journey to Lithuania in the 1980s and 1990s, when the revival of folk songs became a silent weapon and an important part of the road to independence. Using previously unseen archival material and the voice of Zita Kelmickaitė herself, the film reveals not only the phenomenon of her personality, but also the history of an entire generation that cherished national identity.
