The artists in tonight's program look back at childhood, and many of them find it to be a violent age. Their films and videos can be seen not merely as personal reflections, nor as reflections of our times, but as translations and rethinkings, raising questions about family and memory, and about narrative and speech (and its corollary, silence). The act of remembering isn't nostalgic: the myths and constructed images of childhood are shattered. In A Place Called Lovely, Mother's Hands, Gun Talk, Monsters in the Closet and the recently completed Tom's Flesh, memories surface and are explored in relation to issues regarding the body, sexuality and violence; while in the disturbing She's Just Growing Up, Dear, the inability to verify memories is linked to a complex probing of incest. In Scary Movie two young girls make their own movie revealing insights which perhaps exceed their own conscious perceptions.-Kathy Geritz A Place Called Lovely (Sadie Benning, 1991, 14 mins, B!W, 3/4" video).
