Her

"Her was shot as my contribution to a collective film of the Italian Film-makers' Cooperative, "Tutto, tutto nello stesso istante", which started out as a Dadaist protest against police brutality. I used a "Newsweek" cutting about the Chicago Convention riots, about a woman being beaten up, and isolated in every line a symbolic word, which returns in the second part with an extension of its original meaning. I remember showing it with an 8mm projector at the USIS Rome Library in winter 1970 as part of a concert of American music." Massimo Bacigalupo
