A Skinny Little Man Attacked Daddy

Director: Vivienne Dick


‘I am trying to find a new form – mosaic like – a new space of connections
where disparate events interweave or fold into one another. The chaos is
rearranged to make an order. It is subjective and objective at the same time
and this is reflected in the style – social documentary and home movie. It is
about the strangeness of what is ordinary and about how we are marked in a
very physical way by place – the rain, the wind, the textures of Donegal. The
strangeness of just being. The title comes from a dream I had once. I imagine it
has something to do with the effects on the psyche of inhabiting a world
where the subject is male!’ – Vivienne Dick, 2003
(1994, 23mins)
