(IMAGE BREAKER 1970s CINEFEMINISMS)

Content: Initially created for a new alternative distribution network, Miss Video 4U, modeled after the 1990's Joanie4Jackie video chain letter, IMAGE BREAKER explores the history of the Big Miss Moviola/Joanie4Jackie series to take viewers further back to the mid 1970s when another, less well known, feminist video exchange took place, International VIDEOLETTERS. Then 27 feminist media groups participated in a two year bi-monthly video exchange. After giving a brief introduction through clips and art work, this less than ten minute video quickly explores 13 other 1970s feminist media that are MISSING / UNKNOWN / UNSHOWN. Spunky and quirky, the work could evolve into a Feminist/Gender and Cinema Studies teaching tool and put some of this germinal feminist work back on the cinema history map.
