Synopsis

Intrigued by this strange collective, Barbara HAMMER set out to make this striking meditation on political passion and the gender dynamics in artist/activist collectives. Her wonderfully idiosyncratic documentary often uses random images from the films to stand for the collective's members, as if they were home movies. She encountered suspicion as a feminist, as a foreigner, and as a filmmaker who chose not to live and dwell with her subjects.
