A Month of Single Frames (for Barbara Hammer)
“While editing the film, the words on the screen came to me in a dream. I was really trying to figure out a way to talk to the experience of solitude that Barbara had had, how to be there with her somehow through the time that we would all share together watching her and the film.

In Search of a ‘Feminist Sensibility’
