This evening, Parnes will  present her acclaimed feature, <em>Blood and Guts in High  School <\/em>(2004-06). Distilled from Kathy Acker&#8217;s  subversive feminist novel of the same title, the film interweaves events  surrounding the book\u2019s publication \u2014 the Jonestown Massacre, Three Mile  Island, the rise of Reagan Republicanism and the Moral Majority \u2014 with  interludes from the short, violent life of its pre-teen protagonist,  Janie Smith. Parnes will also screen episodes from her new web series, <em>County  Down<\/em> (ongoing). Building on the darkly comic  spirit of <em>Blood and Guts<\/em>,<em> County  Down <\/em>is set in a lavish gated community where  parents suddenly prey upon their children. Co-presented  by the Video Data Bank.
