Kannava You Can'av'er (1980, 2 mins, 16mm)
A collection of images of Anna Kannava as a young woman, posing, playing, and reflecting on her changing life, all set to an eclectic soundtrack.
Kannava’s first film, as a 20-year old student, is an experimental collage, reflecting both documentary concerns and Godardian formalism.
(note by Bill Mousoulis)
"Kannava's vision, her sensibility, is one of eternal, nagging restlessness – always longing for an elsewhere, wherever she is situated. The very first shot of Kannava You Can’av’er shows the (at that moment incomplete) far-suburban highway that – as she comments in The Butler – she would eventually take in order to move far from home."
