Seven Women, Seven Sins

Seven Women, Seven Sins (1986) represents a quintessential moment in film history.

Each filmmaker had the liberty of choosing a sin to interpret as they wished. The final film reflected this diversity, including traditional narrative fiction, experimental video, a musical, a radical documentary, and was delivered in multiple formats from 16, super 16, video and 35mm.
