DESERT STATES (YOU WIN AGAIN)

Directed by Michael Robinson
United States, 2015
Short, Avant-Garde

Synopsis

Culled from segments of the Miss USA pageants of the late 1980’s, Robinson’s silent two-channel video, ‘Desert States (You Win Again)’, reduces and refracts the source’s highly-gendered pageantry to its rawest form of ceremonial spectacle.
