When these films were shown recently in New York, Jonas Mekas wrote in the Village Voice: 'I am happy to report here that avant-garde film has gained one more artist whose work I have no doubt will take a permanent place in the avant garde film repertory.' - J.M.
'Joyce Wieland surpasses philosophy. She has achieved a capacity for whimsy, and become divine. She cannot help but laugh, also I recommend her knockers' - Ken Jacobs.
