39th Ann Arbor Film Festival (2001)
Lost Treasures (1999)
An elegy to three women, each of whom taught the filmmaker in different ways and each of whom recently passed away. The film uses hand-processed high contrast film, whose surface has been damaged by stains of unwashed chemistry, in its effort to express the disorientation produced by loss.
Happy Are The Happy (Your Best Joke, Please)
(Co-directed w/ Sarah Jane Lapp. 1999)
How does one generation of survivors communicate with the next? Can humor function as a shared language for disparate communities of displaced people - specifically, a difficult Diaspora of Bosnian, Jewish, and Romany refugees? And could you tell us your best joke, please? Of its participants and its viewer, this experimental, non-fiction film asks these questions and others relating to the matrix of memory, survival, and comic impulse of contemporary life - in Prague and beyond.
