Double Feature
Valley Girl, Michele O’Marah, 2002, 113 min.
Valley Girl, Martha Coolidge, 1983, 99 min.
Video artist O’Marah pays tribute to the favorite film from her youth by re-creating Coolidge’s Valley Girl with a cast of friends. Both films offer a modern-day fairy tale that seduces the audience with its idealism; O’Marah employs rudimentary sets and amateur performers to bring Coolidge’s characters to life, exaggerating the audience’s yearning to believe in the story’s fictional world despite its transparency.
