PYJAMA GIRLS
(Feature Documentary)



Directed By Maya Derrington
Produced By Nicky Gogan

 

 
 

 

Lemon yellow flannelette, candystriped pink seersucker, teddy-bear print polycotton; hardly the flaming tools of revolution.  Yet emotive quotes from Dublin-based message boards and newspapers give a taste of the defensive reaction ignited by the recent Dublin trend of wearing pyjamas during the day.  Pyjama wearing is a surprising yet non-aggressive form of expression, so why does it provoke such an extreme response? 

Pyjama Girls follows the lives of three inner city teenage girls over the course of a year.  Using the strongly visual language of the young female – of clothes and fashion – this feature length observational documentary film explores the lives of a contemporary group whose voice and social impact is a visual one.  Just as this uniquely Irish fashion trend brings the indoor out and the private onto a public stage, so Pyjama Girls provides a platform for personal experiences which reflect wider social issues.
