See this film: The Wolf Knife [with Laurel Nakadate in person] @ the HFA
Laurel Nakadate knows how to get a rise out of people. Her work
explores the tyranny of the male gaze, but who exactly the victims are in her
videos, photographs, installations, and films is debatable. In her second
feature, The
Wolf Knife (2010), a pair of teenaged
girls go on a road trip from Florida to Tennessee in search of one's
father. They encounter the usual creepy men, and maybe something creepy inside
themselves as well. Nakadate will be on hand to discuss the film, and that will
probably be pretty provocative, too. It's at the Harvard Film Archive in the Carpenter Center, 24 Quincy St, Cambridge
