The Fancy

Elisabeth Subrin | USA | 2000 | 36' |

| IFFR 2001

Continuing her exploration of experimental biographical forms, the maker of Swallow and Shulie turns her critical gaze to the life and art of a renowned young female photographer whose early death left behind a controversial body of work rife with psychosexual implications. Rigorously structural in form, this speculative bringing-to-light meticulously sifts physical evidence and sketchy facts in an attempt to uncover the traces of a seemingly-repressed history embedded within the photographer’s pictures.
