is it experimental? number 3 uses repetition and photographs of the artist’s chaotic and cramped production environment to expose the working conditions that plague experimental filmmakers without access to a professional studio or equipment.

Surface of the Film carries the surface tension of film into the analog process of film development. The film appears as if immersed in a solution of chalk, soda, salt, and soap—the same mixture Soviet DIYers once used to whitewash hospitals, schools, and orphanages. Here, too, the layer both protects and attacks. It covers up, lets traces emerge, and carries scratches, stains, and blurs into the emulsion. Through its own material, the film searches for an equivalent to human vulnerability where gendered, trans, and female bodies seek protection while remaining exposed to the violence of the gaze.

So much for a world of total accessibility: the inmates in Farina Mietchen’s documentary can only communicate precariously, and access is unevenly distributed between those on the inside and those they wish to contact. “If you can’t reach me,” a former inmate reminds his Turkish friend, who is still in jail, “try again. I can’t call you back.” Such are the rules in the business of the inmate telephone system. Mietchen listens to her anonymized protagonists as they talk on the phone, watch crime shows together, and make plans for their next visit, while she herself fills out visitation requests. The film’s error-prone DV format reflects this world of fragile communication, so out of step with the times—as is, one might argue, the entire prison system that necessitates it.
