What Am I Doing Here 1978
A playing with words, narrative, and performance…..A display of my fantasies, fears, and mundane realities……A narcissistic reflection and indulgence in my ecstasies, torments, and humorous nuances….A personal journey through the question ‘What am I Doing Here?’ and the endless attempts to answer it. Jean Sousa
La Femme n’est plus ce qu’elle était 1978
A parody of feminist criticism on found footage covered by humoristic chisellings, signs or hasty figurative elements. Sometimes, chisellings are fine, and sometimes they are treated in large shots (razor tears, acid, cutting the film itself, wide spraying, thick stamps). A bedsheet is used as the final screen from which various women's evocations are represented.
The Red Bowmen 1978
Every year, a ritual known as ida is performed by the Umeda people, who inhabit the dense primary forest of the Waina-Sawanda district of West Sepik, Papua New Guinea. Ida, the central social and cultural drama of the Umeda, is a fertility ritual, in which a dominant theme is the metamorphosis of the cassowaries. An ethnography by anthropologist Alfred Gell, Metamorphosis of the Cassowaries, complements the film.

Droids 1978
L'Âge doré 1978
Intercourse With... 1978
In this haunting performance, Wilke conflates the private and the public as autobiographical theater. The audience "eavesdrops" on a series of phone messages intended for Wilke, recorded from her answering machine. This voice-over litany of messages becomes an intimate if one-sided narrative of Wilke's life, a diary of personal and professional relationships — family, lovers, friends, colleagues — that is oddly elegiac. Wilke strips to reveal that her body is covered with the names of the individuals we have heard speaking; she then methodically removes the names until all traces have disappeared.
