Description
Summary:
Women are the focus but not the object of Trinh T. Minh-ha's influential first film, a complex visual study of the women of rural Senegal. Through a complicity of interaction between film and spectator, REASSEMBLAGE reflects on documentary filmmaking and the ethnographic representation of cultures. Official Selection at the **New York Film Festival**. *"Superbly crafted and visually exquisite, Reassemblage is also a work of film criticism-one that plays with the qualities of film itself. In its form and content, it critiques both western science and documentary traditions." - Pat Aufderheide, **Village Voice***
