ATTN VIDEO EDITORS & CURATORS!

I know a bunch of you are good at finding public domain footage — we’re looking for some clips for our ‘Little Red Riding Hood’ collaboration! (This is for Sundance — 5 days from now!!)

Feminism is a constant theme running through our version of LRRH — so, we’re looking for two kinds of footage:

1. What would traditionally considered ‘oppressed’ women — 1950’s housewives, June Cleaver, etc.  Or anything that you think represents women being objectified and confined to ‘what they’re supposed to be’ because of their gender… Old make-up ads, beauty pageants, etc.


2. The opposite of #1 — footage that represents female liberation:  riot girls, punk rock girls, the ‘rosie the riveter’ propaganda icon — anything that represents women who are strong and getting to be what they want to be.

All this footage is going to get cut-up — so, it needs to express the ideas above in just a few quick seconds.

This kind of stuff will really bring the themes of this story to the surface.

Let’s get to work! :D
