Clotheslines1981

A cherished, sometimes comic memory with mothers, husbands, children, neighbors... CLOTHESLINES, with music by Alice Eve Cohen, documents the pragmatic, symbolic and artistic role of laundry in women's lives. The film presents an enduring, vivid account, showing how the creative energies of women have been sapped by mundane tasks, and in turn how such tasks reflect a ritualistic approach to life. Billed as a poetic documentary.
"... expresses layers of feelings and experience that will be a revelation to both men and women." – Leslie Bennet, THE NEW YORK TIMES.
"... the first public airing of laundry since Watergate." – VILLAGE VOICE
