SUMMARY:The Juniper Tree
DESCRIPTION:In-person: Film preservationist and author Ross Lipman\, 
 Archive Head of Preservation Jillian Borders.\n\n\nAdmission is free. No 
 advance reservations. Your seat will be assigned to you when you pick up 
 your ticket at the box office. Seats are assigned on a first come\, first 
 served basis. The box office opens one hour before the event.\n \n\nFour 
 Women\n\nU.S.\, 1975\n\nSet to Nina Simone’s stirring ballad of the same 
 name\, Julie Dash’s dance film features Linda Martina Young as strong 
 “Aunt Sarah\,” tragic mulatto “Saffronia\,” sensuous “Sweet 
 Thing” and militant “Peaches.” Kinetic camerawork and editing\, 
 richly colored lighting\, and meticulous costume\, makeup and hair design 
 work together with Young’s sensitive performance to turn longstanding 
 Black female stereotypes to oblique\, critical angles.—Jacqueline 
 Stewart\n\n16mm\, color\, 7 min. Director: Julie Dash. With: Linda Martina 
 Young.\n \n\nThe Juniper Tree \n\nIceland\, 1990 \n\nWhile still a graduate 
 film student at UCLA\, writer-director Nietzchka Keene used a Fulbright 
 Fellowship to shoot this stunning folk horror story adapted from a Grimm 
 fairytale on location in Iceland. Premiering at the Sundance Film 
 Festival\, The Juniper Tree features a pre-Sugarcubes Björk in her film 
 debut as one of a pair of sisters (the other played by Bryndis Petra 
 Bragadóttir) who are cast to the rocky wilds after their mother is accused 
 of witchcraft and burned alive. The harsh but beautiful Icelandic landscape 
 captured in dazzling black and white by cinematographer Randolph Sellars 
 feels\, as Ross Lipman writes\, “so palpable it almost functions as a 
 character.”—Senior Public Programmer Paul Malcolm  \n\n35mm\, b&w\, 79 
 min. Director/Screenwriter: Nietzchka Keene. With: Björk\, Bryndis Petra 
 Bragadóttir\, Valdimar Örn Flygenring. \n\nRestored by the Wisconsin 
 Center for Film and Theater Research and The Film Foundation\, with funding 
 provided by the George Lucas Family Foundation.
LOCATION:Billy Wilder Theater\, UCLA Film & Television Archive
