The Panther Women (Las mujeres panteras) will plunge you into the wild world of 1960s Mexican pulp cinema, where (brilliantly named) fierce female wrestlers Loreta Venus and The Golden Rubi find themselves caught in a whirlwind of dark magic.
The pair wind up pitted against the Panther Women, a glamorous and satanic cult of werepanthers waging relentless war against the descendants of the druid who once killed their ancient leader. With the mesmerising exotic dancer and vedette Tongolele adding to the intrigue, The Panther Women serves up a heady dose of pulp thrills and high-energy action, delightfully blending gothic horror with the world of lucha libre while featuring a knock-off version of El Santo and a bevy of bloodthirsty, impeccably made-up wrestlers.
Screening as part of Art of Action, a UK-wide film season supported by National Lottery and BFI Film Audience Network.
Presented by feminist film collective Invisible Women and T A P E collective. Special thanks to Viviana García Besné from Permanencia Voluntaria.
