The Woodmans won the top prize at this years Tribeca Film Festival.
Francesca Woodman is an artist about whom I have long hoped to do a much more intensive investigation (of her work), given where it sits in my own tendency to make metaphoric symbolist connections that struck me at the time — that is, 1978-81, that last year the one of Francescas suicide. I would situate her alongside roughly coeval work by Carolee Schneemann and late Hannah Wilke for revolutions in fabric draped martyrdom and refusal. Rome was for Francesca a breakthrough into brilliance. Francescas mother Betty Woodman continues to be a brilliant ceramist. George Woodman took up photography long after Francescas suicide. Below, images from the film and the trailer.
