Knucklebones

‘Knucklebones follows the course of an hysterical outburst to instances of alienation and isolation. An article in a 1903 newspaper: ‘While fifteen hundred persons looked on in breathless excitement, an electric bolt sent the man-killing elephant staggering to the ground. With her own life, she paid for the lives of the three men she had killed.’ Knucklebones combines archival film with Super 8, 16mm original footage and intertext in an experiential exploration of gender, sexuality, and identity.’ – C.K.
‘…A haunting evocation of the body under stress.’ – Kathy Geritz, Pacific Film Archives.
