Herself
Рассказ о двух «волнах» независимого кино, накрывших Нью-Йорк в конце 70-х. Представители первой группы кинематографистов назвали себя «Кино никакой волны», в то время как вторые были известны как «Кино в трансгрессии».

Seven Women, Seven Sins
Director
Seven Women, Seven Sins (1986) represents a quintessential moment in film history. The women filmmakers invited to direct for the seven sins were amongst the world's most renown: Helke Sander (Gluttony), Bette Gordon (Greed), Maxi Cohen (Anger), Chantal Akerman (Sloth), Valie Export (Lust), Laurence Gavron (Envy), and Ulrike Ottinger (Pride). Each filmmaker had the liberty of choosing a sin to interpret as they wished. The final film reflected this diversity, including traditional narrative fiction, experimental video, a musical, a radical documentary, and was delivered in multiple formats from 16, super 16, video and 35mm.

Exchanges
Director
Exchanges investigates mechanisms by which meaning is produced in film, through the interaction of the process of construction of a text and the social context which determines and is represented by that text.
Central Time
Director
a time-lapse glimpse of the Madison, WI skyline from dusk to dark. Shot from within a hotel room, the street traffic and the reflected interior interpenetrate in gradually shifting superimposition.
An Algorithm
Editor
A visually stunning kinetic rhythm produced by looped footage (mathematical curves) in and out of phase with each other.

Noyes
Director
A single action seen from alternative left and right perspectives, accentuating reversals, repetitions and persistence of vision. Rather than uniting opposites, rhythm is set up by the struggling eye, varying as the image is moved closer to and further from the screen's center. The sound, with its fragmentations and its implications of incompleteness, focuses attention on the impossibility of a resolution in the film's dichotomy. "Rather than crediting the camera with objectivity according to the usual convention in film, the viewer is confronted with the relativity of simultaneous multiple perspectives. The soundtrack underlines the arbitrary relationship between a sign and its signifier, as does Magritte's painting, Ceci n'est pas une pipe." – The Art Examiner
Webbs
Director
This recently unearthed and newly digitized work is a richly minimalist, single-camera-setup portrait of the sights and sounds at a late-night diner in Madison, WI.
An Erotic Film
Director
A couple and a train.
The United States of America
Director
A conceptual bicentennial film dealing with spatial and temporal relationships between two travelers, their car, and the geographic, political, and social changes from NY to Los Angeles.
Still Life
Director
A meditation on the American rustic. Various objects within the composition are re-presented in unnatural colors and unusual spatial arrangements, emphasizing the illusion of movement while exploring film grain and graphic nature. The image of foreground and background becomes reversed, and through that process we lose sight of three-dimensional space representation.
Michigan Avenue
Director
A narrative film concerning an investigation of two women in time and space, to the point where the investigation becomes the narrative.
I-94
Director
Intercourse between two people who never appear on the screen at the same time. An exploration of sex and male/female identities.
