I was really excited to hear Su Friedrich lecture. When I first heard her name and knew she was coming, I thought she was a photographer. But a little later i learned she was a filmmaker, which was even more appealing to me. The images of the baby and the beach attracted me to her work. I looked up her work before the lecture, which excited me even more. I could not wait to hear her talk about her work and show it. Everything she showed thursday really interested me. I especially loved "Hide and Seek" and "Sink or Swim." Friedrich's concepts behind her films were so simple yet very profound. The way she explored womanhood and the technique in which she explored it was really intelligent. Her work, in a way, reminded me of mine and how I view womanhood. Even the way she shot her films reminded me of my work. I got a very nostaligic and eerie feel from her films. Overall, I was very impressed and thoroughly enjoyed listening to her talk.
