"In THE DREAM SCREEN, Stephanie Beroes' concern is with the positioning of woman in the cinematic and cultural imagination. She employs, as her central trope, the legend of Pandora's box - a focus that allows her to examine woman's figuration in both a classical film and an ancient myth. THE DREAM SCREEN proceeds as a multilayered experimental narrative - that operates on three distinct levels. It intercuts footage from the silent film, Pandora's Box (1929), with Beroes' own drama of a modern-day equivalent of Pabst's 'femme fatale.' The sound track intensifies this melange by providing commentary on the career of Louise Brooks - taken from her autobiography. Superimposed on these segments is a third tier of interview material with a contemporary Louise Brooks look-alike, who discusses her problematic relationship with her father. Through this intertextual montage, Beroes not only re-writes the Pabst classic, but examines the mythification of woman, and its articulation in the cinema." - Lucy Fischer, University of Pittsburgh
