Me and Rubyfruit
Director: Sadie Benning
1989/5min
‘Me and Rubyfruit’ was shot entirely on a Fischer-Price PXL 2000 camera, hence the childishly grainy quality. It is ultimately a video diary or log commenting on Sadie Benning’s troubles with her sexuality and unhappiness. The narrative is similar to Elizabeth Wurtzel in Prozac Nation, and the dialogue is interspersed with random shots of Benning’s bedroom; a lamp, fluffy toys, the view of the Brooklyn (?) suburbs from her window. There seems little point to the film, as we are presented with a character who we have little or no sympathy for; Benning alienates her audience for her character is very rigidly set as someone who many people cannot relate to (16 year old confused lesbian with a stereotyped and cliched teen-angst aura about her). In terms of style, it is certainly original for there are few films available that are shot in “Pixeltron” yet it is certainly dull and has as much professionalism as an unedited home-made movie.

A New Year
Director: Sadie Benning
1989/6min
This masterly short was made when she was sixteen years old. A diaristic peer out from beneath a manhole cover, it’s a kid’s first dip of a pinky toe into the adult world, rendered as a series of swirly, surreal segments of “The Price Is Right,” supermarket tabloids read to the tune of AM radio, and friends’ DUIs re-enacted using one’s brother’s Tonka toys. About as on the nose of where we are as NATURAL BORN KILLERS and about as formally daring as SCORPIO RISING (if more modest), A NEW YEAR is testament to a little-known fact: this kid is–overused word, so watch it–a genius.
