Bitter Strength: Sadistic Response Version


Rental Format(s): Digital File

A response to those who think S/M is part of violence against women. Set against the backdrop of pixelated PXL2000 S/M imagery and industrial soundscape, a spoken word voice-over exhorts women to resist their assailants, and at the same time a certain eroticism is prevalent in the imagery.

Producer-Director-Editor-Sound-Voice: Azian Nurudin
Performers: Michelle Handelman, Ashley Hans Scheirl (Angela Hans Scheirl)

This piece was shot on a PXL 2000 toy camcorder by Fisher Price and edited on VHS
