contrabass solo score bring to life a set of ill-equipped lungs in

elements and optically-printed found footage of Jane Goodall.

”MadCat tests, expands, and evolves the traditional, politically
motivated, 20th Century definition of the women¹s film festival.” (The
Independent Film and Video Monthly)
