Genre: Short

Cast: Carolee Schneemann, Jacques Seiler, Claudia Hutchins

On the occasion of late Carolee Schneemann today, i decided to watch her films. Not many know her works but one of the most distinguished figures of her generation. A multi-talented artist who openly challenged the mainstream art with her provocative body art. 60s was the time when the rise of art collectives, cinema movements garnered support from the underground. Schneemann was part of the noise and made a feminist statement to showcase the abuse of the bodies, systems using her body as a tool. In this short film, from what is happening on the screen, this might seem a bunch of naked sickos under influence shredding each other bodies with paint, meat and going wild. But there is more to that, a feminist statement, the subtexts filled with psychology, the surface of the performance to create shock value. If you are interested in performance art like the works of Shigeko Kubota Vagina painting (1965) Monica Sjoo's God Giving Birth (1968), Or if you dig the Panic movement and Viennese Actionism can give this a watch.

The short form refers to creative works characterized by their brevity and concise storytelling. Unlike full-length feature films, short films have a running time of less than 45 minutes, while TV shorts have a running time of less than 22 minutes.
