Curated by Northwestern professors Amy Partridge and Helen Thompson, this program brings together three daring works of film and video that forged new paths towards women’s sexual self-representation on screen. Carolee Schneemann’s classic Fuses (1967), shown in a restored print, remains one of experimental film’s most uncompromising evocations of intimacy. The Continuing Story of Carel and Ferd (1970–75) offers an early use of video as a medium for confession and confrontation. The late Chicago artist Barbara DeGenevieve playfully deconstructs the motives behind her affair with a truck driver in Desperado (2004–06).
