Lizzie Borden\u2019s daring first feature is a shapeshifting portrait of a women\u2019s collective and the slippery relationship between a filmmaker and her subjects. When the collective breaks down, the film similarly fragments, with the introduction of fictional characters, disjunctive sounds and images, and multi-textual observations by artists outside the group, including Joan Jonas, Barbara Kruger, Nancy Holt, and Kathryn Bigelow, resulting in a rich and complicated depiction of 1970s feminism. The collective protested Borden\u2019s final cut after <\/span>Regrouping<\/span><\/i>\u2019s 1976 premiere and Borden shelved the film for many years. Now, with the participants\u2019 permission, it is circulating once more in a restoration by Anthology Film Archives.<\/span><\/p>\n
