FLASHBACKS
FLASHBACKS is an experimental documentary piece by Michèle Saint-Michel. Part of her PTSD Suite, an experimental documentary collection that includes seven individual films. Each film explores a specific symptom (or grouping of symptoms) of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
Borrowing a narrative storytelling approach from director Lizzie Borden, Saint-Michel shares vignettes, allegories, poetry, and sometimes dictionary entries, to create a liminal world where the center of many Venn diagrams overlap.
