We Are Women (1978)

A poetic video piece in which Weiss alternates between hand-held shots of women that are surviving in the streets of Mexico City and colourful, kaleidoscopic forms. In a very personal style she combines sound, color, abstractions, reportage, rhythm. A unique melange of realism, absurdism and fantastical, a sort of eerie fairytale that holds a profound social commentary. – Mila van der Weide
