The autobiographical films made by German-Argentine experimental artist Marie Louise Alemann explore performativity and layers of the self. Paulo Pécora's portrait of Alemann, recorded in 2013, pays her loving tribute. Alemann's figure gradually comes into view from amidst a sea of black-and-white Super 8 grains while her voice speaks gently about how cinema entered her life.
This documentary is an approach to the experience of seeing and listening to the trajectory of Narcisa Hirsch, a pioneer of Argentine experimental cinema, but who has also been part of the happenings and performances of the 1960s and 1970s.
An exercise in portraiture with a Super 8 camera, Juan José Mugni portrays filmmaker Marie Louise Alemann in a number of different shots.
In a forest, a woman is bound by rope and string to the trees. Gradually, she begins to remove the bindings.
Wearing a swimming cap and one-piece, with a bright white face, an alien-like woman circles the camera, snarling and contorting her jaw, using a rainstick as a shield.
A woman hides in the forest, attempting to become one with the landscape.
