Super Feminist<\/em>, video produced, directed, and written by Dempsey and Millan, 2008.<\/p>\n

They have toured extensively in North America, Australia, Japan and Europe, and their videos have been screened in grassroot non-art spaces as well as in museums such as Museum of Modern Art in New York.

In their videos you can for example meet butch Canadian national park rangers or Wonder Woman.<\/p>\n

\"ShawnaWonder Woman was a cartoon heroine created in the 1940’ies. In their video ‘Super Feminist’, starring Shawna Dempsey in the titular role, Dempsey and Millian have reworked the Wonder Woman opening sequence from the 1970’s television show and a new superhero kicks butt and saves us!<\/p>\n
