Film Categories: Work by Women

  • Endangered

    Barbara Hammer’s face appears through layered printing and physically scratched film. The material of the film itself – inevitably changed by photochemical decay over time – and its images are at risk of loss as surely as the endangered animal species depicted in the film. The romantic concern with nature is elaborated with a technically sophisticated metaphor from industrial processes. With her own image appearing with the animals, perhaps the artist too is at risk of being lost.

  • Trigger Warning:*rape

    Trigger Warning: *rape offers an intimate discussion between two women about their experiences as sexual assault survivors who were raped by female partners.

  • Goin’ Ape

  • Far From

    Constructed with repetitions and variations in reference to the musical form of a nocturne, Far From is an accumulation of the layers, density and noise of existence. The film evokes the ghosts of lives lived and the traces of lives being lived, rising. French Synopsis: À l’instar d’une nocturne, les variations et les répétitions du film « Loin de » agencent les couches, la densité et les bruissements de l’existence – les fantômes de vies passées et les traces de vies toujours présentes, en devenir.

  • Love Me

    Using only text-on-screen, Love Me distills the emotions of an earlier film, Beating: emotions conflict, confuse and are difficult to reconcile. The texts ‘speak’ unsaid and unsayable thoughts, impolitic or just impolite. They are suppressed exclamations from past injustices and hurts; angers surface which are interrupting, erupting and demanding of attention.

  • The Foxy Merkins

    Two lesbian hookers wind their way through a world of bargain-hunting housewives and double-dealing conservative women in this subversive buddy comedy. An homage to and riff on iconic male hustler films.
