Personal Statements in Video
Personal Statements in Video exhibition. New American Makers. Opera Plaza Cinema.
Excerpts from program notes: "These videos are personal statements by their authors that reflect their take on the world, their relationships, and their place in our society. BARBARA ROSENTHAL "Fingernails and Other Shorts" offers short videos from dry wit to zany goof, using toys, puppets and primitive music. MARSHALL WEBER "A Roman Empire" presents a travelogue analogy of empire... then and now. LYNN HERSHMAN "First Person Plural," BARBARA HAMMER and PAULA LEVINE "Two Bad Daughters" uses child-like play to sabotage and subvert patriarchal Institutions, and MARILYN WULFF "Little Stories" a naive and funny account of people she knew while growing up."
