헬무트 뉴튼: 나쁘거나 혹은 아름답거나
Self (archive footage)
“나쁜 사진은 결코 잊히지 않는다.” 전설적인 사진작가 헬무트 뉴턴의 작품에서 여성은 분명히 핵심적인 위치에 있다. 까뜨린느 드뇌브, 그레이스 존스부터 샬롯 램플링, 이사벨라 로셀리니까지. 그가 남긴 아이코닉한 작품 속의 스타들이 마침내 이 논쟁적인 천재에 대해서 자신들의 해석을 내놓는다. 묘사된 자들의 묘사인 셈이다. 도발적이고 틀을 깨뜨리며 파괴적인 그의 여성 묘사는 여전히 의문을 불러일으킨다. 그 여성들은 주체였을까, 대상이었을까?

Joseph Cornell: Worlds in a Box
Herself
This is a 1991 documentary film about the legendary artist and filmmaker, Joseph Cornell, who made those magnificent and strange collage boxes. He was also one of our great experimental filmmakers and once apparently made Salvador Dali extremely jealous at a screening of his masterpiece, Rose Hobart. In this film we get to hear people like Susan Sontag, Stan Brakhage, and Tony Curtis talk about their friendships with the artist. It turns out that Curtis was quite a collector and he seemed to have a very deep understanding of what Cornell was doing in his work.

젤리그
Susan Sontag - Contemporary Interviews
뚱뚱한 사람을 만나면 뚱뚱해지고 중국인 옆에 가면 중국말을 하는 인간 카멜레온 젤리그에 관한 의사 다큐멘터리. 우디 앨런의 어떤 영화에서든 주인공은 항상 삶에 대한 불안감과 두려움으로 가득차 있는 것을 볼 수 있다. 그 극단적 캐릭터가 바로 이 영화의 주인공 레오나르 젤리그이다. 미디어를 통해서는 많은 사람들의 바램 - 변신이라는 - 을 실현시켜 주는 영웅이 되지만 실제로는 자신의 정체성을 부인하고 딴 사람이 되어야 안심이 되고 사랑 받을 수 있다고 생각하는 소심한 실패자인 것이다. 이 기발하면서도 내면적 깊이가 있는 컨셉을 가지고 우디 앨런은 테크놀로지 실험에 도전한다. 소울 벨로우나 수잔 손탁이 젤리그에 대한 기억을 진지하게 회상하거나, 젤리그 주변사람들에 대한 인터뷰가 간간히 들어가는가 하면, 방대한 뉴스 릴과 우디 앨런을 편집으로 합성하여 재즈 시대에서 파시즘 초기 시대까지의 유명인들과 함께 대화하는 것처럼 만들어 놓고서 다큐멘타리를 패러디한다. 재즈 음악과 어울려 화면은 재치와 속도감을 가지고 지나가지만 그 당시의 혼란과 불안감에 대한 고찰이 숨어있다. 그러나 결국 젤리그는 유도라 플레처와의 사랑에 안주해 버린다. 미국의 중산층의 가치를 받아들이면서 유순하고 평범한 미국인으로 전락해버린 것이다.

Promised Lands
Writer
Susan Sontag scrutinizes the ongoing Arab-Israeli conflict and the growing divisions within Jewish thought over the question of Palestinian sovereignty. Shot in Israel during the final days of the Yom Kippur War. Promised Lands is less straight documentary than visual collage. There are images of combat zones and soldiers, but also everyday street life, desert landscapes, funerals, supermarkets, the Wailing Wall. The soundtrack is snatches of radio, bursts of church bells and gunfire, and an extended voiceover from two politically opposed Israeli thinkers.

Galaxie
Herself
In March and April of 1966, Markopoulos created this filmic portrait of writers and artists from his New York circle, including Parker Tyler, W. H. Auden, Jasper Johns, Susan Sontag, Storm De Hirsch, Jonas Mekas, Allen Ginsberg, and George and Mike Kuchar, most observed in their homes or studios. Filmed in vibrant color, Galaxie pulses with life. It is a masterpiece of in-camera composition and editing, and stands as a vibrant response to Andy Warhol's contemporary Screen Tests.
Andy Warhol Screen Tests
Self
The films were made between 1964 and 1966 at Warhol's Factory studio in New York City. Subjects were captured in stark relief by a strong key light, and filmed by Warhol with his stationary 16mm Bolex camera on silent, black and white, 100-foot rolls of film at 24 frames per second. The resulting two-and-a-half-minute film reels were then screened in 'slow motion' at 16 frames per second.
