RE: 'LRRH' Public Domain Footage

ATTN VIDEO EDITORS & CURATORS!


I know a bunch of you are good at finding public domain footage — we're looking for some clips for our 'Little Red Riding Hood' collaboration! (This is for Sundance — 5 days from now!!)


Feminism is a constant theme running through our version of LRRH — so, we're looking for two kinds of footage:



  1. What would traditionally considered 'oppressed' women — 1950's housewives, June Cleaver, etc.  Or anything that you think represents women being objectified and confined to 'what they're supposed to be' because of their gender... Old make-up ads, beauty pageants, etc.

  2. The opposite of #1 — footage that represents female liberation:  riot girls, punk rock girls, the 'rosie the riveter' propaganda icon — anything that represents women who are strong and getting to be what they want to be.


All this footage is going to get cut-up — so, it needs to express the ideas above in just a few quick seconds.


This kind of stuff will really bring the themes of this story to the surface.


Let's get to work! :D
