The story of young sisters in the American Midwest left alone with their increasingly unstable mother while their father is fighting in the Civil War.

Play and the dreamlike space they inhabit provides an expansive and ultimately grounding setting for the girls’ response to war.

Alice in Wonderland
-
An adaptation of the 1886 musical “Alice in Wonderland: A Dream Play for Children” by Henry Saville Clark and Walter Slaughter.
"James Fotopoulos’s adaptation of Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass by way of Henry Saville Clark and Walter Slaughter’s 1886 musical Alice in Wonderland: A Dream Play for Children—is an extremely curious object in its own right, and its premiere New York screening is a must-see. If you doze through a few of its ninety-nine minutes, your dreams will be the better for it ... In terms of avant-garde genres, it could be classified, to borrow a term from P. Adams Sitney, as a trance film."
- Amy Taubin, ArtForum

Desperate Teenage Lovedolls
-
REMASTERED: David Markey's Desperate Teenage Lovedolls chronicles the rise and fall of the fictitious all girl band, the Lovedolls. "Kind of an all-girl Spinal Tap" said the Los Angeles Reader at the time of release. The positive critical response didn't stop there. "This is worthy of a Joan Crawford vehicle" chimed The Village Voice. Made on a micro-budget and cast with members of the Los Angeles punk scene (Redd Kross, Black Flag etc.), shot guerrilla-style on the streets of Hollywood and Santa Monica and Venice. This was a true Do-It-Yourself effort, made for the ragged fellow travelers on the scene at the time.

The epic continues when Patch Kelley (Janet Housden) becomes Patch Christ, the leader of an acid-damaged religious cult who rescues washed-up Lovedoll Kitty Karryall from a drunken, wasted life. Featuring music by Redd Kross, Sonic Youth, Meat Puppets, Dead Kennedys, and more! "You can't kill a Lovedoll, babe... because Superstars never die!"
