Wiley; 16mm, color, sound, 42 minutes "On a formal level, Blondino is a long, never resolved dialogue between it's protagonist's inner and outer worlds, between film as a material and film as representation, between art and entertainment. Like a dream, it continually strives to embody two contradictory readings within the same composite structure. The recorded image is frequently effaced by distortive lenses, prisms, and superimpositions, just as narrative is often submerged by eruptive digressions or suggestions that each film is Blondino's dream." -J.

For many sixties artists the body was a territory in need of liberation." — Scott McDonald, A Critical Cinema 2 (1992) Alice Ann Parker had a brief filmmaking career in the late 60s to the mid 70s while living in San Francisco.
