Chronic And Other Films
1993, 58 minutes, Color/BW, VHS/16mm
Order No. W99576
This collection of films from emerging filmmaker Jennifer Reeves includes THE GIRL'S NERVY, MONSTERS IN THE CLOSET, and CHRONIC. Innovative, perceptive, and powerful, each challenges filmic conventions. THE GIRL'S NERVY is a cut and paste study of the single frame and the eye's rhythms. MONSTERS IN THE CLOSET links stories of little girls and girl gangs with tales from the closet of adolescence. CHRONIC is an experimental narrative of one young woman living with "so-called" mental illness. Beautiful and skillful, it probes her misogynistic and violent surroundings for the motives behind her compulsive self-mutilation.

QUOTES
"One of the more interesting young avant-garde filmmakers...Reeves combines visceral but elliptical images."
Amy Taubin
Village Voice
"Effective and often moving with a camera that seems both playful and emotionally subjective..."
