Gently Down the Stream1981

THE TIES THAT BIND is an experimental documentary about the filmmaker's mother, who was born and lived in southern Germany from 1920-1950.

FIRST COMES LOVE consists of perfectly choreographed scenes of four wedding ceremonies accompanied by a complex medley of popular love songs.

A contemporary classic and a landmark in autobiographical filmmaking, SINK OR SWIM is an unflinching account of the highly charged relationship between a daughter and her father.

The film begins with a series of events on a crowded outdoor market street. Women on stages perform “private” rituals: shaving legs and armpits, fixing their hair, etc.

SCAR TISSUE uses two sets of images in midtown Manhattan and is structured so as to reproduce what is essential in the original event but also to undermine the original event.

Su Friedrich investigates the formal device of presenting dreams as text through the form of scratched words which have to be read rather than recreating the "look" of the dream through images.
