Knucklebones: Self-Sustaining Members of the Human Species

Knucklebones follows the course of hysterical outburst to instances of alienation and isolation. From a 1903 newspaper, "While fifteen hundred persons looked on in breathless excitement, an electric bolt sent the man-killing elephant staggering to the ground. With her own life, she paid for the lives of the three men she had killed." The film combines archival with Super8 and 16mm original footage and intertext in an experiential exploration of gender, sexuality and identity. Featuring Katherine Crockett, prior to becoming a Martha Graham Dance Company soloist. "A haunting evocation of the body under stress."-Kathy Geritz, Pacific Film Archive
