In her acclaimed \u201cspeculative biographies,\u201d filmmaker and SAIC alum Elisabeth Subrin (MFA 1995) explores the absences and erasures of women\u2019s lives from the historic record. She presents two works, produced 26 years apart, that use reenactment to express the ways we continue to live with, in Subrin\u2019s words, \u201cthe residues of the past.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSubrin has made a provocative, unnerving document, difficult to forget.\u201d \u2014Tony Pipolo, <\/span>Artforum<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

In Elisabeth Subrin\u2019s latest film, actresses Manal Issa, A\u00efssa Ma\u00efga, and Isabel Sandoval recreate a 1983 French television interview with the iconic Maria Schneider. When asked about Shneider\u2019s traumatic experience filming <\/span>Last Tango in Paris<\/span><\/i> with Bernardo Bertolucci and Marlon Brando, the actresses not only perform Schneider\u2019s words and gestures, but inhabit them through their own identities. Together, they conjure all who have been silenced, before and after. (Adapted from the New York Film Festival.)<\/span><\/p>\n

Shulie
\n<\/span><\/i>1997, 37 minutes<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cShulie is<\/span><\/i>\u2026 daring and revelatory\u2026 Subrin\u2019s ideas are beautiful, and the movie is a thing of wonder.\u201d \u2014Richard Brody,<\/span> The New Yorker<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

“A cinematic doppelganger without precedent.\u201d \u2014Mark MacElhatten, New York Film Festival<\/span><\/p>\n

Subrin\u2019s landmark film <\/span>Shulie<\/span><\/i> (1997) is a shot-by-shot reenactment of an unreleased 1967 documentary portrait of Shulamith Firestone, then a student at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, who, just a few years later, would go on to write her influential radical feminist treatise<\/span> The Dialectic of Sex: The Case for Feminist Revolution<\/span><\/i><\/a>. Through the film\u2019s meticulous staging and performances, Subrin reflects on the ways Firestone\u2019s experiences of gender, race, and class continue to echo today.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
