Framer Framed: Film Scripts and Interviews

Produced at the intersection of creative and critical practices, Trinh’s films situate themselves between poetry and politics, art and theory, fiction and documentary, and truth and fact. They resist the comfort of categorisation, and engage the reader in a reflective process of seeing, hearing and co-producing.

Framer Framed brings together for the first time the scripts and detailed visuals of three of Trinh Minh-ha’s provocative films: Reassemblage, Naked Spaces-Living is Round, and Surname Viet Given Name Nam. 

Offering a large selection of related interviews in which the award-winning filmmaker and theorist discusses the specifics of visual creativity and the politics of documentary practice, Framer Framed addresses the more general questions of feminist, postcolonial and postmodernist art and culture.
