Director in Person New York experimental film and videomaker Abigail Child describes her sensual, haunting B/side as "an experiment in entering imaginatively the delirium of the Lower East Side." The tent city encampment Dinkinsville appears at the opening and closing of the film, a parallel city salvaged from the rubble of The City. Daily rituals-economic negotiations, getting dressed, washing clothes-are surveyed from a distance. A woman (Sheila Dabney) wanders the streets, daydreams, and sleeps. She fluidly moves through a New York that exists beside the other New York, this one populated with displaced lives. B/side is a rhythmic, poetic city symphony from the other end of the century, one which no longer celebrates modernity but charts its flip side, economic upheaval. Both B/side and 8 Million, which will also be screened, feature musical compositions by Ikue Mori. With 8 Million (1992-93), Child has been described as competing "with Nam June Paik in this cacophonic storm of images in which experimental music and eroticism swirl about each other."
