Maja is proud of the 16 coils of brass around her neck that distinguish her as a ‘long neck’ Kayan woman from Burma. But after 20 years of living on display and constantly being photographed in a tourist village in Thailand, the rings are becoming more a trap than a source of pride. When a chance meeting with an Australian filmmaker puts a video camera in her hands, she decides to turn the lens around and make a film about what it means to live in a ‘human zoo’. The process turns her life on its head and forces her to choose between tradition and rebellion.

Aloha Wanderwell was a Canadian-American internationalist, explorer, author and filmmaker. While still a teenager, she joined an expedition to travel across the world by Ford Model T, driving through 43 countries in the 1920s. She was billed as "The World's Most Travelled Girl," recording her journeys on 35mm nitrate and 16mm film. Excerpts from the reels of films made by Aloha Wanderwell during her trips around the world. The reels were recently donated to the Academy and are (very) slowly being rearranged into her various films based on notes and records. The reels presented included excerpts from Car and Camera Around the World and To See the World by Car, plus Home Movie footage from the 1950s.

Poster for Les Misérables

1987 · ★ 7.0 (1)

In this film, Mattuschka works exclusively with animation. The cheerful cartoon characters Mimi and Max have a bit of a childlike-bisexuality to them, even when the subject seems to be the desire for and the differences from the other sex: "Look at what I´ve got here," says Mimi when she lifts up her skirt, the reply she gets being, "Is that real...?".

Poster for Catalog

2005 · ★ 0.0 (0)

CATALOG is a composition of stillness. An inversion of the spectacle. Actors are posed, recreating various photographs in surroundings unfrozen. The soundtrack is a dense tale of spaces. A photograph more mutable than an image should be.

Poster for The Waiting Time

2005 · ★ 0.0 (0)

THE WAITING TIME is an experimental documentary exploration of desire, conception and the long waiting time of gestation. It is a study of a year in the filmmaker's body at age thirty-five, becoming a mother for the first time. As a thinking woman's sex education film, THE WAITING TIME is a feminist attempt to address and articulate the question of maternal subjectivity, the experience of motherhood for the mother herself.
