Reassemblage

A Complex Visual Study of the Women of Rural Senegal

Women are the focus but not the object of Trinh T. Minh-ha's influential first film, a complex visual study of the women of rural Senegal. Through a complicity of interaction between film and spectator, REASSEMBLAGE reflects on documentary filmmaking and the ethnographic representation of cultures.

Official Selection at the New York Film Festival.

"Superbly crafted and visually exquisite, Reassemblage is also a work of film criticism--one that plays with the qualities of film itself. In its form and content, it critiques both western science and documentary traditions." - Pat Aufderheide, Village Voice
