Su Friedrich (b. 1954) has been described as an autobiographical
filmmaker, an experimental filmmaker, a documentary filmmaker, an
independent filmmaker, a feminist filmmaker, and a lesbian
filmmaker-labels that she sprucely dodges, insisting time and again
she is, quite simply, a filmmaker. Nevertheless, the influences of
the experimental film culture and of the feminist and lesbian
political ethos out of which she emerged resonate across her films
to the present day. Su Friedrich: Interviews is the first volume
dedicated exclusively to Friedrich and her work. The interviews
collected here highlight the historical, theoretical, political,
and economic dimensions through which Friedrich's films gain their
unique and defiantly ambiguous identity. The collection seeks to
give a comprehensive view of Friedrich's diverse body of work, the
conditions in which her films were made, and how they have
circulated and become understood within different contexts. The
volume contains fifteen interviews-two previously unpublished-along
with three autobiographical writings by Friedrich. Included are
canonical early interviews, but a special focus is given to
interviews that address her less-studied film production in the
twenty-first century. Echoing across these various pieces is
Friedrich's charmingly sardonic and defiant personality, familiar
from her films. Her occasional resistance to an interviewer's line
of questioning opens up other, unexpected lines of inquiry as it
also provides insight into her distinct philosophy. The volume
closes with a new interview conducted by the editors, which
illuminates areas that remain latent or underdiscussed in other
interviews, including Friedrich's work as a film professor and
projects that supplement Friedrich's filmmaking, such as Edited By,
an online historical resource dedicated to collecting information
about and honoring the contributions of women film editors.
