Birds and Gods

Video
December 15, 2002
Portland Documentary and Experimental Film Festival, Portland, OR.

If rockets are phallic symbols, can menstruation and aviation mix? "Birds and Gods" examines the history of women astronauts using historical documents and comical computer graphics.

I was inspired by this interview with Contance Penley to find out more about the history of women in aviation.

See "Birds and Gods" along with "Investigation of a Flame" by Lynne Sachs on Sunday, December 15 at 4:30pm at Cinema 21 as part of the PDX Film Festival.
