DISTRIBUTOR: THE MUSEUM OF
MODERN ART CIRCULATING FILM LIBRARY DVD,VHS. Rental, Leases: Apply. MoMA Film Library Contact: KittyCleary@moma.org This film is a statement of grief at the terrible tragic
loss of the filmmaker’s youngest sister, Beth. Beth, a U.S. Navy private, was stationed on the U.S.S. Holland in Charleston
S.C. when she disappeared one Christmas. The circumstances surrounding her death were suspect of foul play; the Navy’s
investigation of her disappearance was less than adequate. Her gruesome murder remains an unsolved mystery. "Donna Cameron's story of the murder and disappearance of her
sister is deliberately filmed as a home video. In this film, Cameron, known for her poetic cinema works on her own paper emulsion
medium, returns to her photojournalist roots. She summons profound meditative moments in her use of script and camera. She
incorporates familiar elements of sight and sound (wind, water, traffic) and makes no attempt to filter them. They are as
raw as her voice, probing the strange tangled web of her sister's disappearance. It is a cold case which was never solved.
By allowing natural distortion of image and sound, she alludes to the many levels that a person is affected by such a tragedy." -William Sloan Consultant in programming
to the Department of Film. Formerly Chief of the Museum of Modern Art Circulating Film and Video
Library.

A Dialogue with Dr. Vivienne Thaul Wechter. ©2001.
Directed, photographed,edited by Donna Cameron. Music
by Peter Wetzler. Poetry
by Vivienne Thaul Wechter. 30 min. Color. DISTRIBUTOR: THE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART CIRCULATING FILM LIBRARY DVD,VHS. Rental, Leases: Apply. MoMA Film Library Contact: KittyCleary@moma.org This film is a portait engaging a phenomenal
talent, Vivienne Wechter, in an original on screen dialogue. Wechter, 91 at the time of the filming, had worked, encountered
and partied with many of the illustrious persons of her age, including Eleanor Roosevelt, Salvatore Dali, Helen Hayes, Robert
Penn Warren, Alice Neel, Dorothy Gillespie. This film illuminates her most endearing traits- fiesty, peppery, offsetting,
loving, dynamic. Wechter is a gifted painter, sculptor and poet and "braids" these media throughout the dialogue
with spontaneous combustion. "A
very accomplished work!" -George Stoney, Documentary Filmmaker and Film Professor, NYU ""Thunderolt..." is a fine, skillful work, and
an enjoyable portrait of Vivienne." Larry Kardish, senior Curator, MoMA Department of Film. "Vivienne Thaul Wechter is an original, intense, expressively
lyrical abstract painter possessed of an imagination tha sights the unusual... i am in full support of this project. Donna
Cameron is a noted filmmaker, and it is important that this film is made." -Henry Riseman, Director, Museum NECCA "Were Vivienne Wechter a literal or
realistic artist the word people would be sorely tempted to put the substance of her communication into words, to see her
pictures in terms of words alone. But luckily she is not a realistic artist, she is an extremely subtle abstractionist. As
such, she is a most proper stimulant. Though it is well knowthat she has an extraordinary gift for words, she is also able
to broadcast to us from areas where words are of no avail. For she has learned the silent language of the artists well. She
is highly skilled in the complexities of color, light, line and form and understands the power of their impact on the eye
and mind. And what is more, her wordless messages come to us through the medium of a vital and abundant talent."
-The late Robert Beverly Hale, Curator, American Paintings and Sculpture, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY
