We are proud to screen a hidden early gem of filmmaking from Abigail Child, recently preserved by Harvard…

Peripeteia II 1978, Film (16mm), 10min, color, silent.

“Extending from PERIPETEIA 1 – a navigation by light, contrasting the camera’s fixed sight with “in site” movement. A sculpture of glass, mirrors and film vies with the choreography of the cardinal points: dense shelter, rain, red emulsion. Filmed in the Oregon coastal forest, June.”

Award: SF Art Institute Film Festival, 1979

Distribution: Canyon Cinema
