An examination of the factors which hinder people, especially women, from finding a voice. “Interruption is a mechanism by which: A) men can prevent women from talking, and B) they can gain the floor for themselves…” – Dale Spender . “After all, the whole point of a sacrifice is that you give up something you never really wanted in the first place.” – John Osborne The roughness of the film is a testament to the determination to work through all the technical problems of the production.Throughout, the questions – how are images (of self, of others, on film) constructed? and how are engineering and filmmaking related? (and why do filmmakers remind me so much of engineering students?) – served to guide the choices made in text, image and structure. In the end, Newton’s Laws prove true as inertia keeps the body/camera/optical printer in motion until the film is finished.
