Whit Stillman helms this offbeat romantic-musical-comedy following
a group of social misfits as they negotiate the minefield of
college life. Greta Gerwig stars as Violet, the emotionally fragile
yet overbearing leader of a pretentious group of girls who imagine
themselves superior to everyone else when in fact they are for the
most part ignored by their fellow students. Everyday concerns such
as dating disappointments, essay grades and social mores give way
to the more perilous pitfalls of female friendship after the girls
take it upon themselves to befriend new student Lily (Analeigh
Tipton).
A compelling regional and historical study that transforms our
understanding of film history, Amateur Movie Making demonstrates
how amateur films and home movies stand as testaments to the
creative lives of ordinary people, enriching our experience of art
and the everyday. Here we encounter the lyrical and visually
expressive qualities of films produced in New England between 1915
and 1960 and held in the collections of Northeast Historic Film, a
moving image repository and study center that was established to
collect, preserve, and interpret the audiovisual record of northern
New England. Contributors from diverse backgrounds examine the
visual aesthetics of these films while placing them in their
social, political, and historical contexts. Each discussion is
enhanced by technical notes and the analyses are also juxtaposed
with personal reflections by artists who have close connections to
particular amateur filmmakers. These reflections reanimate the
original private contexts of the home movies before they were
recast as objects of study and artifacts of public history.
