Viet Flakes

Viet Flakes consists of a collage of Vietnam atrocity images that Schneemann compiled over five years from various foreign magazines and newspapers. Using an 8mm camera, she creates a volatile animation that travels within these photographs, bringing the harsh realities of war to the forefront.

As a short film, it provides a poignant commentary on the Vietnam War, showcasing the artistic expression of a woman director in a male-dominated field. Its innovative approach to animation and film technique may resonate with collectors interested in experimental cinema and the historical context of the 1960s.
