While foremost an opportunity to present recent films, tonight's program offers works that suggest a variety of approaches to dialog: from conversations with strangers, friends, and oneself, to debates with political policy and mainstream representations. Jennifer Montgomery's I A Lamb (19 mins, Super-8) counters the notorious Silence of the Lambs with a seemingly casual collection of verité discussions, TV footage, and playful enactments which accumulate into a discussion of violence and its relation to gender and power. Girls Daydream About Hollywood (Jennifer Reeves, 5 mins, B&W) is a whirlwind collage of voices and images which suggest that, when men and women daydream, different wishes are fulfilled. Todd Herman's haunting Affections Wake (11 mins, B&W) alternates a man's and woman's voice; in their musing, the house and body are examined literally and as potent metaphors. In My Mother, Myself (15 mins, Color/B&W), Paula Froehle explores her relationship with her mother in an intense, emotional conversation directed both inward and outward, toward her mother. Chronicle of a Lying Spirit (Cauleen Smith, 5 mins) is an artist's self-portrait-or is it? In Marjorie Keller's Herein (50 mins), a New York apartment building houses overlapping histories of a personal, community, and political nature. "An FBI film obtained under the Freedom of Information Act, Emma Goldman's autobiography, the making of films on the Lower East Side in New York, all inflect the sense of place, space and history."
