Bath (1969)

Directed by Penelope Spheeris

Overview

Made in an environment and at a time when frequent and gratuitous images of nude women permeated the work of her male counterparts, director Penelope Spheeris produced this intimate and sensual observation of a woman bathing.  The appearance of Spheeris’ credit at the beginning of the film seems to ask the question: how does voyeurism change when we know the voyeur is actually a voyeuse?  16mm, b/w, 6 min.  Director: Penelope Spheeris.  Preserved by the Academy Film Archive in 2014.

Length 6 minutes
