The found-footage collage was overlaid with a psychologist expounding on sex offenders, analog video effects, edgy graphics, and a new wave score by the band Human Sexual Response.

Analog video by Sylvère Lotringer. Extended conversation between two dominatrixes, a younger American woman and an older French woman (Catherine Robbe-Grillet, writer and wife of Alain Robbe-Grillet).

In How to Shoot a Crime, Chris Kraus constructs a quasi-documentary with police crime footage, interviews with two dominitrices, and an ersatz mystery sub-plot. Sadomasochism finds its analog in a “plot” where gentrification and crime documentation are two versions of aestheticized death.

A short film recounting an episode in in the life of Antonin Artaud.

In 1937, having just returned from Mexico, and a failure on the stage, playwright and theater director Antonin Artaud embarked for Ireland on another mythical journey. Though finally cured of his lifelong drug addiction, he was nevertheless broke, alone, and unable to speak English. Lotringer’s film is a gripping docufiction about this period in Artaud’s life, focusing in particular on the ten days he spent on the stark Aran Islands before he became delirious and was sent back to France in a straightjacket. THE MAN WHO DISAPPEARED was shot on location on the spectacular Island of Inishmore from 2014-15.
