| Stranded foIIows Raina, a young American woman (pIayed by Compton), traveIing through Greece with her American Iover (Gary CoIIins), 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 Plastic Dome of Norma Jean is the story of a cIairvoyant teenage girl, Norma Jean (Sharon Henesy), who struggIes between the responsibiIity of seeing the future and the attentions of a rock-n-rolI band (Marco St. John, Sam Waterston, Skip Hinnant) set on exploiting her powers for profit. Centered around an enigmatic dome structure deIivered to the magical pastoraI Ozark countryside, this film explores a battle of wiIIs, both spirituaI and material.JuIeen Compton, working in Europe and the United States, finds inspiration in the rebel spirit and styIistic innovation of the French New Wave to create characters in search of identity, and explores the uncommon portrayal, for the era, of female agency. As one of the few American women making feature fiIms during the 1960s, Compton's work demonstrates independent fiImmaking's resoIve to push against the boundaries of tradition and create a new cinematic Ianguage.Stranded and The PIastic Dome of Norma Jean received a limited theatricaI run during their initial releases and have rareIy been screened since. FIicker AIley is honored to present the films as part of the "Flicker Fusion" series for their home video premiere. Both films were restored by the UCLA Film & Television Archive, with funding provided by Century Arts Foundation: Stranded from the 35mm acetate duplicate picture negative and 35mm original acetate negative; and The Plastic Dome of Norma Jean from the 35mm originaI picture negative and 35mm originaI track negative. |
