Irish-born film and video maker Vivienne Dick is known in the U.S. for her gritty super-8mm films of the late 1970s and early 1980s documenting the New York punk scene. Her newest work, A Skinny Little Man Attacked Daddy, "represents a return, a settling of psychic accounts with her family and place of origin. The rural social landscape in Donegal contrasts with textures of 'big city' life in this gentle investigation into inherited identity and the route to morality. The boundaries between the home movie and television social documentary are dissolved in an exploration of everyday life, as the film performs devastatingly honest open-heart surgery and tries to understand an individual experience, a personal version of the 'family system' from the inside."-Rod Stoneman (30 mins, Video)Preceded by: She Had Her Gun Already (Vivienne Dick, U.S., 1978), a film that "speaks the contemporary unspeakable: women's anger and hatred of women at the crucial moment of overpowering identification and obsessional thralldom." (Karyn Kay) With Lydia Lunch, Pat Place. (28 mins, Color, S-8 transferred to 16mm, New print!)Visibility: Moderate (Vivienne Dick, Ireland, 1981): "...a parody of a s-8 vacation movie....You wonder if Dick's point is that sectarian violence is an indelible aspect of the Irish condition, and that she's as sick of the H-Block as she is of the Blarney Stone."-J. Hoberman (38 mins, Color, Super-8 transferred to Beta)
