Synopsis

Thirty years after her untimely death at the age of 43, the importance and influence of Marjorie Keller's films and her work as an institution builder for avant-garde cinema have become ever more apparent.

Her films, once dismissed by some critics as being insufficiently feminist, have given rise to an ongoing number of dissertations, screenings, and reconsiderations of the politics of feminism in the cinema and beyond.

In the Absence of Marjorie Keller collects essays on Keller's 8mm and 16mm films that analyse what critic Amy Taubin described as "Keller's strongest gifts as a filmmaker - the subtlety of her awareness of gesture and the extraordinary fluidity and assurance of her editing." It also includes examples of Keller's scholarly writing, that reflect her broad influence on not just the representation of female experience on the screen but to the broader history of American experimental film in the late 20th century.
