Carolee Schneemann, Kitch’s Last Meal, 1973-76

I met a happy man
a structuralist filmmaker
-but don’t call me that
it’s something else I do-
he said we are fond of you
you are charming
but don’t ask us to look at your films
we cannot
there are certain films
we cannot look at
the personal clutter
the persistence of feelings

the hand-touch sensibility
the diaristic indulgence
the painterly mess
the dense gestalt
the primitive techniques

(I don’t take the advice
of men who only talk to
themselves)
PAY ATTENTION TO CRITICAL
AND PRACTICAL FILM LANGUAGE
IT EXISTS FOR AND IN ONLY
ONE GENDER
...
he told me he had lived with
a “sculptress” I asked does
that make me a “film-makeress”?

Oh No he said we think of you
as a dancer
