G (1979)

Plot Summary

In Susan Stein’s early film, G, her interest is language and work and how the two are connected. Experimenting with the conjunction of images and sound, she shows a typewriter from a variety of angles, punctuating the images with the almost abstracted sounds of a clock, typing and a monologue. The result is a reflection on both the material and artistic processes confronting an author. “Thinking about writing and hearing and writing of the film, the same alphabet which has been shared by many women.” (SS)
