Artist in Person Whether in dark narratives that document story-telling, or irreverentdocumentaries that tell stories, local filmmaker Greta Snider disarms anddelights. She has revitalized the found-footage film with witty visual puns,political savvy, and raw emotional power. Futility is structured around thetelling of two tales, the arrangements for an abortion and the dissolving of arelationship, while Mute is a disturbing story from the vantage of both a muteand the object of his fascination. A seedy portrait of the punk-rock culture inSan Francisco, Hard-Core Home Movie asks the question, "What is hardcore?" while in a collage-film, Our Gay Brothers respond to the female body.No-Zone is a collaborative examination of the lives people create at the fringesof the mainstream. The recent Portland documents the failure of expectations on atrip gone digressively wrong. Snider's newest work, tentatively titled Flight,will also be screened.-Kathy Geritz Futility (1989, 9 mins,B&W). Hard-Core Home Movie (1989, 5 mins, B&W). Mute (1991,14 mins,Color).
