Project B*mbi (clip 45 sec.)

2007, color video with sound, 4:30 min.
Sources:  Deer Hunter (dir. Michael Cimino, 1978), Bambi (dir. David Hand, 1942), Debbie Does Dallas (dir. Jim Clark, 1978)

Project B*mbi contains three classic film scenes from the disparate genres of animated feature, pornography, and epic drama. The editing choice of opaquely layering and physically braiding these texts gives the viewer the unique and surprising opportunity to watch these films simultaneously. The chosen scenes are the most memorable, climactic, and sometimes most traumatic plot points. By layering the texts, the narratives and characters not only commingle, but each narrative provides a critical lens in which to view and recontextualize the other two films. For example, (spoiler alert) the subtext of homoerotic tension comes to the fore in Deer Hunter, while Bambi takes on the qualities of an Oedipal drama, when viewed through Debbie Does Dallas.
