Released in 1986, Lovedolls Superstar is the sequel to David Markey’s punk cult classic Desperate Teenage Lovedolls. Shot on Super 8 with a budget of a few thousand dollars (and a soundtrack featuring Redd Kross, the Dead Kennedys, and Sonic Youth) Lovedolls Superstar follows the titular girl-band-turned-Mansonoid-cult as they fight tooth and nail to make a comeback, while a zany cast of characters seek to enact revenge upon them. You can’t kill a Lovedoll, babe… because Superstars never die!” 

This screening of Lovedolls Superstar is presented by the UCLA Library Punk Collective, celebrating multiple generations of punk. The film will be preceded by short films and music videos by David Markey, an exhibit of materials from the UCLA Punk Archive, and performances by Los Angeles bands Seudo Youth and En La Muerte following the film.
