Writing Desire
Gift from the filmmaker. We went to the Whitney Independent Studio together in the 1980s and I brought her to Pitzer in the early 2000s to show her work. I follow her current work on immigration and the environment.
Loose Ends, Cartoon Le Mousse, Fever Dream 7, Kristallnacht
I taught these films for years. Amazing proto-feminist experimental film
Memories from the Department of Amnesia; Art of Memory
Two works of video art that I taught.
History and Memory: (for Akiko and Takashige); Scar; Smoke and Ghosts: Three Poems and more [Through the Lens 5 Compilation]
A film I taught with and still do because of Tajiri's amazing mix of documentary, fiction, history, art, and feminism. It always moves students to understand the necessity of experimental approaches to political history. It seems to be recorded from…
Tribulation 99; 0 No Coronado!; Una Historia [Craig Baldwin Compilation]
Gift from filmmaker for teaching and research.
The Attendant
Gift from filmmaker. "Isaac is a friend and colleague. His work on AIDS and black queer representation has been formative to my own production and thinking. I taught this. The poster from the film was used as set decor in The Watermelon Woman." [as…
Sins of the Fleshapoids
Dub used only for teaching.
I, A Man
Dub used for teaching and research. Purchased at a swap meet in Los Angeles.
Sex Fish; Making of Alien TV show before it
"I was in this porno with Cheryl Dunye [my ex partner] made by our friend Shu Lea Cheang. Because I was just starting in my first job as an assistant professor at Swarthmore College, so I asked to not be identifable. We screened it as part of the…
Pull My Daisy
Used for teaching a class on American indie cinema.
Bike Boy
Dub for teaching bought at a swap meet. The Warhol foundation controls access to all his films, so obviously, this was and is a dub used for teaching and research.
A Crack in the Tube
Purchased for teaching. I taught often with this collection at Pitzer College over many years and in a variety of Media Studies classes from Feminist Documentary to Video Art. It's an imprtant and large compliation documenting the history of feminist…
Murder & Murder (first 30 mins)
Acquired as research for Women of Vision from the distributors. Yvonne was my teacher at the Whitney Independent Studio Program and a role model for a life as a feminist queer artist, as well as for her conceptual, intellectual, and experimental…
Known Unknown
Carolee was one of the subjects of Women of Vision. She gave this and other tapes of her film and video work to me for B-roll. I recently re-interviewed her when she had a major retrospective in NYC at PS1. I went to her house upstate and had a…
Lives of Performers
Dub for research for Women of Vision acquired from distributor. I taped over a video with a box label reading: Riverside Art-4, Fall 97, Jacob Lind, which led to some initial confusion when the Brooklyn College Librarians and I were trying to make…
The Fancy
Gift from filmmaker. She is a friend and colleage and also wrote an essay for my collection "F is for Phony: Fake Documentary and Truth's Undoing," co-edited with Jesse Lerner (University of Minnesota Press, 2006) about her compelling reenactment…
Angel in the Attic
A gift from the filmmaker. I received tapes like this over the years to teach, or write about, or program because of my research interests.
Swallow
Gift from filmmaker. I think I wrote a letter of evaluation for Elisabeth at one point and may have acquired many of her films for this reason. Many of our core interests align: feminism, reenactment, women's liberation. Elisabeth wrote an important…
Starring Rosa Furr And Other Queer Tales
Gift from filmmaker for teaching and research.
Lucille
Gift from filmmaker. Enid was a frequent collaborator as an editor and artist, and one of my favorite video artists of the 1990s. She edited my documentaries, Dear Gabe and Video Remains. She continues making art that links to the sciences focusing…
Jeanne Dielman, 23 Commerce Quay, 1080 Brussels, Pts. 1 and 2
Dub of VHS filmed from 16mm print projected on a wall. I taught this film frequently in feminist film classes. It never stops giving: ideas about watching, time, and female's agency as actor, director, viewer, and "homemaker."
Diaries, notes, and sketches
Intoxicating, moving, brilliant entre into bohemain NY by one of experimental cinema's giants. I love a diary film; the East Village; this film's pacing and dreamy focus; its slowness. I watched part of the film on 16mm one day with Minohla Dargis,…
