Visions of a City
1978 · ★ 8
Sepia toning lends a romantic (even wistful) quality to Larry Jordan's film Visions of a City, which he shot in San Francisco in 1957 and edited in 1978. The pace is un-irritating, in contrast to the San Francisco of today; but unlike the equal weight Helen Levill gives to all her subjects, there is an internal evolutionary development in the Jordan film that ultimately delivers a story. Until the introduction of the human protagonist, poet Michael McClure, we are treated to an extravagant display of visual delights.

Dear Me, A Letter to My Younger Self
2022
Editorial, poetic and kind, Stella’s aim for the film is that the queer community sees it and immediately knows that “this was made with love, not with the usual ‘once a year rainbow’ vibe”. At its core, the film makes space for multiplicity: “As a queer director myself, I really wanted to strike the balance between telling true queer stories, which are sometimes sad and sometimes happy.” The intergenerational cast was asked to write a letter to their younger/older self. A selection of quotes acts as the collective voice of the film.
