Jennifer Reeves
Monsters in the Closet
Dirty little girl stories, girl gangs, and other tales from the closets of adolescence.
1993, 16mm, color/so, 15m, $55
The Girl's Nervy
Exuberant rhythms are created for the eyes in this nostalgic study of
the single film frame, through cutting, pasting, and painting clear and
photographed film images. Fleeting shapes in lush, spattered color
flicker and dance to big band beats.
1995, 16mm, color/so, 5m, $25
Chronic
Chronic is an experimental narrative about a young woman who began
mutilating herself as a girl to cope with her bitter mid-western life.
The lush optically-printed scenes take Gretchen¢s point of view from
her punk youth, a stay in a mental hospital, and her release into the
big city. Scripted scenes are composited with documentary and found
footage, illustrating the culture Gretchen lives in, her inner world
and relationships from her birth to her final day.
