Reassemblage 
(1982/Trinh)
An interesting experimental documentary, where the subjects of the film (the people of Senegal), are just as important to the overall mix as the filmmakers themselves. Not only a commentary on documentary filmmaking, but also just on the way we as humans look at different cultures and strange objects. This film, having been directed by a woman, also seems to have some sort of message about the female presence in the Senegal culture, although this was a little bit unclear. Technically, Trinh's rapid fire editing was enjoyable, but her choices in audio mixing seemed a bit odd at times.
