    Kitchen Sink

    Alison MACLEAN 1989 New Zealand b/w 14min DCP
    A woman who pulls at a strand of hair that seems to be caught in her sink, only to discover that it’s actually linked to the body of a grotesque creature. From the bowels of the kitchen sink comes a dark and tender love. A nightmare comes true. Starring a young Theresa HEALEY, this jarringly grotesque film presents the monochrome mixture of horror and romance, while addresses issues of gender politics and feminist praxis. Film courtesy of Te Tumu Whakaata Taonga New Zealand Film Commission and Aotearoa New Zealand Film Heritage Trust.
