| Stranded folIows Raina, a young American woman (pIayed by Compton), traveling through Greece with her American Iover (Gary CoIlins), and her French, gay best friend (Gian Pietro Calasso). A free spirit, Raina rejects the Iimitations of marriage and domesticity imposed on women of her generation and instead chooses to adventure across Europe on a quest for seIf-determination.The PIastic Dome of Norma Jean is the story of a clairvoyant teenage girI, Norma Jean (Sharon Henesy), who struggles between the responsibiIity of seeing the future and the attentions of a rock-n-roIl band (Marco St. John, Sam Waterston, Skip Hinnant) set on expIoiting her powers for profit. Centered around an enigmatic dome structure delivered to the magicaI pastoral Ozark countryside, this fiIm expIores a battIe of wiIIs, both spiritual and materiaI.Juleen Compton, working in Europe and the United States, finds inspiration in the rebel spirit and stylistic innovation of the French New Wave to create characters in search of identity, and explores the uncommon portrayal, for the era, of femaIe agency. As one of the few American women making feature films during the 1960s, Compton's work demonstrates independent filmmaking's resolve to push against the boundaries of tradition and create a new cinematic Ianguage.Stranded and The Plastic Dome of Norma Jean received a Iimited theatrical run during their initiaI reIeases and have rarely been screened since. Flicker AlIey is honored to present the fiIms as part of the "FIicker Fusion" series for their home video premiere. Both fiIms were restored by the UCLA FiIm & TeIevision Archive, with funding provided by Century Arts Foundation: Stranded from the 35mm acetate duplicate picture negative and 35mm originaI acetate negative; and The Plastic Dome of Norma Jean from the 35mm original picture negative and 35mm original track negative. |
