We watch a very slender woman with close-cropped dark hair working at white desk in a small, white, cubicle-like office. Positioned above and to the side of her desk, the camera's wide-angle lens distorts the scene, rendering straight lines as curves, and producing a sense of deep spacial recession in a confined room. Forty-minutes long, Bacher's video distills individual frames from documentary footage, reanimating them as a succession of stills. Time-code numbers at the top of the frame record the date and time of each image. [Overview courtesy of University of California, Riverside]

Reviews
SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped
Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
