- Summary
- One of a trilogy of works by experimental filmmaker Elisabeth Subrin, who shifts historical periods, genres, and identifications to explore the residual impact of feminism and the hazy boundaries between fiction and nonfiction. Here, Subrin teams with her creative collaborator Kim Soss to bend time and cinematic code to resurrect a little-known 1967 documentary about Shulamith Firestone, who would become a notable figure in the feminist movement and author of the radical 1970 manifesto The Dialectic of Sex: The Case for Feminist Revolution. Firestone functions as a prism for refracting questions of gender, race, and class that resonate as loudly today as they did then.
