Mutiny

1983 · 11 min

A playful, fragmented collage of gestures and voices that feels like a puzzle of everyday female experience, asking you to lean in and decode its rhythms.

Overview
Mutiny employs a panoply of expression, gesture, and repeated movement. Its central images are of women: at home, on the street, at the workplace, at school, talking, singing, jumping on trampolines, playing the violin. The syntax of the film reflects the possibilities and limitations of speech, while “politically, physically, and realistically” flirting with the language of opposition.
