Turn Me On, Dammit!

“A hilarious girl’s coming of age movie that Hollywood would never make.”—Jezebel

Winner of the Best Screenplay award at the 2011 Tribeca Film Festival, Turn Me On, Dammit! is a whimsical and refreshingly honest coming-of-age story about the blossoming sexuality of a teenage girl. Alma, who is 15, lives in an insufferably boring little town in the Norwegian hinterlands and is consumed by out-of-control hormones and fantasies that range from sweetly romantic images of Artur, the boyfriend she yearns for, to more down-and-dirty daydreams. Laced with warmth and quirky humor, Turn Me On, Dammit! is a light-hearted take on the kind of story that is told so often about boys and so rarely about girls. (76 mins., video)
