*Self-taught filmmaker Lizzie Borden* is a pioneer of militant queer and
lesbian cinema. Her second film, 'Born in Flames', described by Sophie
Mayer as “feminist Afro-futurist science fiction”, oozes freshness and
relevance even though it was released in 1983. It was produced without a
script – through what she calls inductive scripting – and shot over a
period of four years with a budget of barely 40,000 dollars. The editing
table then became one of her closest allies: guided by intuition and
tenacious lucidity, she turned to pseudo-documentary to make up for the
shortcomings resulting from precariousness and amateurism in the film world.

Against this backdrop, pirate radio became one of the protagonists and main
motifs of the narrative thread of 'Born in Flames'. In this short excerpt,
Lizzie Borden explains the various reasons that led her to take an interest
in the phenomenon of European free radio, and how it helped her to connect
the various agendas of this cult film.
