Invisible Adversaries
Director: Valie Export
1977 / 110min / DCP
Export’s terrifyingly intimate, at times downright assaultive feature debut plunges the viewer into the unraveling psyche of Anna (Susanne Widl), a photographer whose conviction that extraterrestrials called “Hyksos” are in the process of hastening civilization-wide decline leads to schizophrenic episodes—imagined in blistering montage—and a devastating crack-up with her partner, played by artist and new media theoretician Peter Weibel. “A tour de force of cinematic invention… Reveals a prodigious talent at work… Some of the most audacious and amazing experiments since Cocteau… A modern Blood of the Poet… Export brings a fresh and intelligent sensibility, characteristically self-referential.” —Gene Youngblood, Expanded Cinema
Distributor: Sixpack Films
