Parallax is a dance film that explores the sensuous flow of the female and male body. Formal relationships achieve a visual extension in space through concave mirror reflection and the juxtaposition of three projections. The dancers separate and come together to abstract each other in strong compositional movement and rich color. Their bodies superimposed in black and white negative and color create a surrealistic environment that defines the synchronous flow within the three screens.

Recipient of the 2008 Women’s Film Preservation Award Grant

"Parallax is at once invitingly sensual and conceptually arresting." -Alan M. Kriegsman, The Washington Post

"Pictorially similar to an enormous fresco, Parallax moves its characters through a dance without time and perhaps without end." Anna Canepa, -Art Workers Newsletter

"Parallax is like a Reubens or a Renoir, it is so explicitly voluptuous."
-Holly Beye, Woodstock Times

"It is a beautiful film." -Jonas Mekas, The Village Voice
