Milking & scratching : hand-made films

Leche: experimental, black and white, anecdotal documentary film was hand processed in buckets and hung to dry on the clothesline. It examines details of the lives of one family living on an isolated ranch in Central Mexico ; Mala leche: this sequel to Leche follows the same family now in California's Central Valley ; Removed: nail polish has been applied to surface of a 1970's pornographic film so that the woman remains only as an animated void ; Hand eye coordination: images of hands at work are mixed with non-synchronous sounds ; Private movie: in studies of light, movement and darkness, this film follow's a woman's physical and emotional journey. | "Naomi Uman, former private chef to Malcolm Forbes, Calvin Klein and Gloria Vanderbilt, traded in her eggbeater and oven mitts for a 16mm Bolex and acid resistant black rubber gloves several years ago. As a filmmaker and visual artist, she has screened her work at venues far and wide, including The Sundance Film Festival, The Rotterdam International Film Festivals, The Guggenheim Museum, The Whitney Museum, The Smithsonian, and Mexico City's Museo de Arte Moderno."--Back of container.
