WEDNESDAY, JUNE 22 – 7:30 PM
ONE NIGHT ONLY!

A collection of films, in the spirit of Todd Haynes’ underground classic SUPERSTAR: THE KAREN CARPENTER STORY (which had its premiere at the Millennium Film Workshop in 1987!), that use the imagery of dolls, dollhouses and doll ephemera to satirize our plastic existences. These films run the tonal gamut from irreverent to poetic to disturbing — sometimes all in the same breath.

Program includes:

THE PLASTIC RAP WITH FRIEDA (Tom Rubnitz, Barbara Lipp & Tom Koken, 1983)
THE SPLIT (Laura Lewis-Barr, 2021)
CAST (Sarah Pucill, 2000)
THE ETHNOGRAPHY OF EARLY GIRLHOOD (Chaia Liebowitz, 2022)
BARBIE DREAM HOUSE (Susan Kougell, 2021)
PLASTIC HOLE (Daniel Lewinstein, 2020)

Total runtime: approximately 61 min.
