The Girl Chewing Gum

This classic experimental film upends expectations when an everyday street scene orchestrated by the off-camera narrator is slowly reveled to be fiction as the instructions grow more outrageous. “Sharp and direct, the film anticipates the more elaborate scenarios to come; witty, many-layered, punning, but also seriously and poetically haunted by drama’s ineradicable ghost” (A Dictionary of British Film & Video Artists). 1976, 16mm transferred to video, 12 minutes.
