Are Not My Images (neither there nor here)
February 7, 2004
Organized by Sally Berger, Assistant Curator,
Department of Film and Media.
. 2000. USA/France/
Germany/Great Britain. Directed by Irit Batsry. Soundtrack by Stuart
Jones. Batsry interweaves elements of different genres—documentary,
essay, experimental, narrative—to question the ways that we
see and present reality. The story follows the encounter between
a disillusioned Western filmmaker accompanied by a half-blind guide,
and a local filmmaker, in Tamil Nadu, India. The film won the Whitney
Biennial Bucksbaum Award in 2002, and is a recent Jerome Foundation
acquisition for MoMA’s Film and Media Archive. 80 min.
