(75 min, HD Video/s8mm)

The Deflowering of Ariella Von is a punk-feminist romp through nineties
subculture and post-millennial angst. Banished from her Upper East Side Manhattan prep-school, Ariella Von reinvents herself as a downtown riot girl, flirting with art world pranksters and disenfranchised poets. Dreamlike super8mm montages depicting Ariella’s subconscious frame this coming-of-age narrative with traces of cinematic ennui and post-punk aesthetics.
