Institute History
Description
This exceedingly thoughtful and visually stunning piece draws from previous film by award-winning filmmaker Nina Menkes as it synthesizes the inner dream worlds of a deeply alienated woman with her harsh, out reality. A screen on a haunted proscenium reveals a variety of violent scenes in her life while flowers, butterflies, and glowing stars float elusively around, offering an escape to sublimely surreal landscapes, words of insight, and peaceful meditations. Viewers choose their own narrative path through the woman’s experience as she searches for release by clicking on the proscenium and the clicking on the floating flowers, stars and butterflies.

While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
