X-Terminator (1977)
“Eric Mitchell – as a Neo-noir punk parody of Lemmy Caution in ALPHAVILLE – and Rosemary Hochschild – as a post-semiotic parody of Patty Hearst – star in a b&w 16mm interrogation of 1970s media and cinema representation. It was my first film made in my first year at graduate school at Columbia. I was studying with Peter Wollen, and Sylvère Lotringer and Kathryn Bigelow and I were editing Semiotexte – the film is all of that… Featuring a cameo by Viktor Bokris who was working with Andy Warhol on Interview Magazine.” –Michael Oblowitz
