It's a narrative fragment that strives to combine distance and attraction, terminal boredom and the unattainable." -Barbara Scharres, Chicago Reader Renata Breth: SITE (1980) The filmmaker as archaeologist uncovers layer after layer – hidden landscapes beneath the cityscape. Until within a sea of grain: WE SEE. Jean Sousa: SPENT MOMENTS (1984) An abstract narrative shot from the point of view of a house - the woman is seen from an angle of the wall, the corner observes her. This is a film about fleeting sensations in the midst of ordinary activities, the energy of heat, and the activity of the imagination. Best, Josh B Mabe
