Regrouping

While Lizzie Borden’s features BORN IN FAMES and WORKING GIRLS have taken their place as landmarks of feminist cinema, her debut—the fascinating experimental documentary REGROUPING — has gone largely unseen. A multilayered, self-reflexive portrait of a 1970s New York City feminist collective, the film charts the rifts that form within the group and between its members and the filmmaker — a breakdown that is reflected in the film’s radical splintering of sound and image.

Shelved for decades due to the objections of its subjects, REGROUPING — exhibited now with the permission of its participants—reemerges as an essential chronicle of the second-wave women’s movement and of the meaning, possibilities, and pitfalls of collective action.

Born in Flames

Set ten years after the most peaceful revolution in United States history, Born in Flames presents a dystopia in which the issues of many groups – minorities, liberals, gay rights organizations, feminists – are dealt with by the government.
