I've observed Lisa Jarnot twice, once backed by two musicians, but have not
seen this film. However next week I am expecting to have the rare
experience of witnessing an in-person screening by Henry Ferrini of his
films on Charles Olson and Vincent Ferrini.

Jennifer Reeves In Person
"Cinematheque concludes its whirlwind Reeves retrospective tonight with her
2004 feature, The Time We Killed. Shot in striking high-con black and
white, The Time We Killed is an immersively captivating, free-associative
tale of an agoraphobic writer fearfully trapped in her Brooklyn apartment
on 9/11. A collaboration with poet Lisa Jarnot, who appears on screen in
nearly every frame (and whose poetry is featured), the film is a
claustrophobic exploration of contemporary subjectivity and the
relationship between internal and external reality, “a cinematic fugue of
lost lovers, found memories and televised invasions.” The Time We Killed
will be preceded by one of Reeves’ earliest films, Elations In Negative."
