The Arrest
The Arrest
1971, English. Directed by Shirley Clarke.
1. Viva's first day out when baby is two weeks old - we get arrested. 2. Show "video" process in my living room to French critics who want to interview me (lots of wiggly camera) Demo feedback have usual video wires mess up. They are making an audio cassette to give to Godard for me. Toby comes by to work on wires. This is a good tape of Shirley to show where she's at and her style.
