From the acclaimed director of THE LOVE WITCH, Anna Biller, Spectacle presents
“ANNA BILLER’S SHORT FILM COLLECTION.” From sex demons and night terrors to children’s fairy tales and feminist deconstruction, Anna Biller’s short films are dissonant and hallucinogenic. Our theater will present a special artist talk (remote) with Biller to discuss her creative processes following the premier of this program on October 8th.
This short film collection will feature the following works by Biller:
Three Examples of Myself as Queen
26 minutes
In this film, it is programmed as a “trilogy” of thematic segments, each dealing with a different aspect of the Biller’s enigmatic and intriguing personality.
The Hypnotist
45 minutes
In this film a hypnotist attempts to come between a feuding family and their inheritance using dastardly ways.
A Visit from the Incubus
26 minutes

Fairy Ballet
11 minutes
In this film, Biller adapts Madame d’Aulnoy’s fairy tale “The White Cat” with an emphasis on the story’s symbolism.
