Harriet (1973)

Nancy Cain's classic work of feminist video art, as shown on Lanesville TV. "With very little directed dialogue, we gain intimate entry into a day in the life of Harriet Benjamin—a long-time resident of Lanesville and mother of five—over the course of one day." Harriet grows increasingly frustrated over the course of the day then - in a staged sequence - drives off by herself, cheerfully yelling goodbye to Lanesville, laughing and singing as she drives down the open road. Following the video, Cain and Benjamin take viewer calls in the studio.
