Film Screening | "AMERICAN PROMISE" at Anthology Film Archives
As a cinematic sidebar to Anonymous Was A Woman: The First 25 Years, Anthology Film Archives will host several screenings throughout April and May showcasing moving-image work by selected AWAW-awarded artists. Like the exhibition at the Grey, this film series celebrates the transformative impact women artists have made on contemporary art and film since the award’s founding in 1996.
Beth B (AWAW 1999): TWO SMALL BODIES, 1993
Filmmaker in person for Q&A!
“A single mother (Suzy Amis) comes home one day to find her suburban house in disarray and her two young children missing; a police lieutenant (Fred Ward) turns up and, convinced she murdered the children, proceeds to question her at length. These are the only two characters in this playlike, rather ritualized chamber piece with sadomasochistic overtones, which never strays from the house and its immediate environs.” –Jonathan Rosenbaum, CHICAGO READER
After the film, Beth B will be in conversation with Tom Day, Executive Director of the Film-Makers’ Cooperative.
