Born in Flames

Lizzie Borden | US | 79

Set in a near future landscape that looks a lot like downtown New York in the late ’70s and early ’80s, Born in Flames is a landmark of American independent cinema and a groundbreaking, exhilarating work of feminist agitprop. In Lizzie Borden’s ragged but visionary portrait of a rising insurgency against an incumbent oppressive political regime, two opposing all-female groups come together to form a true Women’s Army. Prescient in its depiction of the movement towards an environment of racial, sexual, and queer diversity, Born in Flames is a brave and brilliant cinematic experiment in social progress. Preserved by Anthology Film Archives with restoration funding by The Hollywood Foreign Press Association and The Film Foundation. Laboratory services by Video and Film Solutions and Audio Mechanics. Presented as part of the MoMI series See It Big! The Future Is Now.

PLEASE NOTE: This film is not rated and may not be considered appropriate for younger audiences. Viewer discretion is advised.

Preceded by the Women's Work program: spunky short films by women that highlight the strenuous work of life and labor.

Deborah Harry Does Not Like Interviews

Meghan Fredrich | US | 17

Blondie’s Debbie Harry endures years of superficial, tedious, and demeaning questions from journalists until she devises a brilliant way to turn interviews on their head.

Dieorama

Kevin Staake | US | 5

Abigail Goldman spends her work days as an investigator for a public defender’s office in Washington state, helping people who are seriously in trouble—which can mean hours of staring at grisly pictures of crime scenes, visiting morgues, even observing autopsies. By night, she dreams up gruesome events, which she then turns into tiny, precise dioramas. Rife with scenes of imminent death and brutal dismemberment, the fruits of Goldman’s painstaking labor would be adorable...if they weren’t so disturbing. In this new documentary short, we follow along as Goldman brings her miniature worlds of murder and mayhem to life with tweezers, paint, and resin, and meet the people who just can’t get enough of her twisted visions—where the final touch is always, in the artist’s words, "two or three brushstrokes of red paint."

Something to Remember (Något att minnas)

Niki Lindroth von Bahr | Sweden | 5

Stunting Cunts

Go ahead and torture yourself, if that’s what you want.
