Staten Island
Vivienne Dick
Experimental : 6' / Dystopian, Relationship, Avantgarde

An androgynous alien emerges from the sea to sift through rubbish on a beach. This low budget sci-fi was originally intended to be part of a longer collaborative work to be made by a group of women called Les Guérilléres – after the radical feminist book of the same name by Monique Wittig.
