Crime Around the Collar, 1983, by Sherry Milner, 40 min. Structured to mimic ‘educational’ film techniques, Crime… employs painfully ironic visual imagery for a serious end: the delineation of the shape and extent of corporate crime in America. “…Crime remains an ambitious and generative project, an educative and entertaining cinematic exposition of the way power frivolously dances around a law of its own making.” —Barbara Kruger, Artforum. Sherry Milner has been teaching film at several California schools, and writes for Jump Cut and Heresies.
Sifted Evidence, 1982, by Patricia Gruben, 41 min. Through a variety of formal strategies, Sifted Evidence ‘deconstructs’ and examines traditional narrative in telling the story of a woman’s love affair. Patricia Gruben is a Canadian filmmaker who has recently completed an independent feature film.
