1999 | Sleep | - - - - |
Dircted by Peter Calvin.
U.S.A. Feature, 16mm, 103 min., 1999, Chicago Premiere.
An experimental journey into the nightscape of Los Angeles through the eyes of four characters who each suffer from a different sleep disorder: an insomniac, a sleepwalker, a narcoleptic and a compulsive sleeper. In the tradition of essay films such as Chris Marker's SAN SOLEIL, the film weaves analytical documentary footage with an abstract narrative, moving through a dark world of sounds that often go unnoticed. These moments explode into an associative structure featuring interviews with doctors, footage from sleep labs, text, and hypnagogic experimental sections. At its core, the film is a meditation on human consciousness, raising questions about our own perceptions of sleep and film. Featuring Bonnie Dickenson (LITTLE SHOTS OF HAPPINESS, SHUCKING THE CURVE), Timothy Innes (MOD FUCK EXPLOSION, HUSTLER WHITE and Kerri Green (teen star of LUCAS and THE GOONIES). "Bizarre and haunting. It's punk Wim Wenders." -New York Press

1999 | BellyFruit | Independent Women Artists, a non-profit organization that creates opportunities for women artists to share their talent with at-risk communities, gave a
group of teen mothers a forum to share their stories. The results, beautifully illustrated life experiences that were powerful, funny and tragic tales, were
first produced as a play at the Los Angeles Theater Center in 1996. The overwhelmingly positive response inspired the artists to expand the play into
the film, BELLYFRUIT; a strikingly honest trilogy that shines a unique light on the often simplified and stereotyped social issue of unwed teen
motherhood. Read more about it here . |
