Using new and archive short and feat ure film\, sound\, discussion\, performance and play\, each event explo res a single theme from a variety of viewpoints. \n \nAt LSFF\, Rich Pi ckings tackles the tricky topic of teenage sexuality - real\, perceived and imposed - on screen. The programme takes us on a challenging journey : Teenage artist Sadie Benning's Pixelvision films from the early nineti es offer a compelling insight into the disturbing\, imaginative space on the edge of womanhood while a selection of shorts from across the world move from the sweet and nostalgic to the unsettling and downright upset ting. The screening will be introduced by Dr Robin Anderson\, a child an d adolescent psychiatrist. Following the screening Robin and several of the filmmakers will be present for a discussion and Q&A around the work and the issues raised.\n \n www.richpickings.wordpress.com \n \nDr Robin Anderson\n \nis a Fellow of the Institute of Psychoanalysis and a consu ltant child and adolescent psychiatrist. He was formally head of the Ado lescent Department at the Tavistock Clinic. He works in private practice in psychoanalysis and psychotherapy for children and adults\, is a Visi ting Lecturer at the Tavistock Clinic and provides a consultancy to adol escent services.\n \nTHE INSTITUTE OF PSYCHOANALYSIS is the main UK prof essional organisation for psychoanalysts in the UK and a global centre o f excellence in the provision of psychoanalytic training\, education\, p ublication and clinical practice. \n \nhref="http://psychoanalysis.org.u k">www.psychoanalysis.org.uk \n \nSadie Benning Videoworks: \n \nIn Joll ies\, Benning gives a chronology of her crushes and kisses\, tracing the development of her nascent sexuality. Addressing the camera with an air of seduction and romance\, Benning allows the viewer a sense of her anx iety and delight as she comes to realize her lesbian identity. In If Eve ry Girl Had a Diary\, Benning trains her pixelvision camera on herself a nd her room\, searching for a sense of identity and respect as a woman a nd a lesbian. Acting alternately as a confessor and accuser\, the camera here captures Benning's anger and frustration at feeling trapped by soc ial prejudices. Me and Rubyfruit is based on a novel by Rita Mae Brown. This tape chronicles the enchantment of teenage lesbian love. Recorded a gainst a backdrop of pornographic images and phone sex ads\, Benning por trays the innocence of female romance\, and the taboo prospect of female marriage.\n \nWhen she was 16\, Benning stopped going to high school fo r three weeks and stayed inside with her camera\, her TV set\, and a pil e of dirty laundry. Living Inside mirrors her psyche during this time. W ith the image breaking up between edits\, the rough quality of this earl y tape captures Benning's sense of isolation and sadness\, her retreat f rom the world. As such\, Living Inside is the confession of a chronic ou tsider. In A New Year\, a version of the teenage diary\, Benning places her feelings of confusion and depression alongside grisly tales of tablo id headlines and brutal events in her neighborhood. The difficulty of fi nding a positive identity for oneself in a world filled with violence is starkly revealed by Benning's youthful but already despairing voice.
