film still

"A fiction film. A personal documentary. Psychoanalysis. The boundaries between truth and fiction. A ‘talking-heads' film about ‘the talking cure'. A film where the interviewer and interviewee are each other's objects. A remake. A film about chairs. A film where people perform themselves. A film about limits. A film that hates talking heads films. A relationship film. A film where two people are always struggling to understand one another: director/performer, interviewer/subject, analyst/analysand. A film with beautiful "movie music". A film-within-a-film. A film that undergoes therapy. A film constantly changing its terms, beginning again, enacting or parodying genre, while always pursuing its goal- how can there ever be empathy while authority is still in the world?"

- Amie Siegel, New York City, 2003
