Quote:
"By exploring relationships between language, text and image, by increasingly using that relationship for exploring narrativity, [Joyce] Wieland's development in experimental films prefigures the cinematic work of such feminist filmmakers as Yvonne Rainer and Babette Mangolte. Wieland's films offer feminist solutions for integrating materials, processes and themes that resolutely emphasize formal manipulations of subjective screen space, point of view and temporality. Through its exploration of political, formal and conceptual options, Wieland's work becomes an important link in the feminist artistic heritage."
