“Nobody Ever Told Me: Sarah,” Bamboo Cinema, Milwaukee, 2001
Miranda July
This was a variation on the “Nobody Ever Told Me” series of 1 minute videos July invited the audience to make at screenings, usually finishing the sentence with a piece of self-taught knowledge. In this unique version July asked participants to describe their friend Sarah (everyone has a friend named Sarah), explaining that she had gone missing. The various Sarah combine to form a portrait of one complex, contradictory woman.
