Underplayed — a brand new documentary coming to TIFF — examines sexism in the electronic music industry and the understated voices that deserve to be heard.

Filmed over the course of the 2019 summer festival season, Stacey Lee’s project exposes gender inequality in the scene with an overall uplifting tone — because it is getting better, thanks to strong female artists Rezz, Alison Wonderland, Nervo, Tokimonsta and more.

According to the doc’s description, “the women who are operating in this artistic space and producing chart-topping tracks fail to receive the recognition that the men in their field are showered with.” Often times a taboo subject, Underplayed aims to change that as the industry works toward more inclusive lineups and opportunities.

Underplayed is set to screen at the OLG Play Stage at Ontario Place on Saturday, September 19, followed by a live performance set with Top 100 DJ/Producer REZZ, one of the film’s primary subjects.

Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
