SHADOW BOXING (2000, 72 min., USA): Thursday, Dec. 6, 2001 @ 7:30 PM

"...compelling...boxing hasn't been shown this creatively on screen since RAGING BULL."- NEW YORK POST

"This film is as visually stunning as it is politically important. I don't think I've ever seen such a profoundly moving look at women and athleticism, race and body consciousness as this. Bankowsky's keen eye and intelligence is exemplary." Hilton Als, writer for THE NEW YORKER

This is one euphoric, hopped up film that delivers the body shots...a visceral experience of boxing that dives right into these women's arteries and through their hearts, pumping back out through their fists...shows us why they're hooked, and hooks us too, and never lets up." - B. Ruby Rich, The San Francisco Bay Guardian

A stylish and visually stunning first look intothe world of women's boxing focusing on the inspirational rise of charismatic Dutch boxing sensation Lucia Rijker (who makes her acting debut in ROLLERBALL).
When the Golden Gloves recognized women boxers for the first time in 1995, filmmaker Katya Bankowsky began expertly capturing an historic era in women's sports.
With an energetic score by Argentine hip-hop DJ Zoël.
Non-sports fans will be captivated by this spiritual look at a brutal sport.

Katya Bankowsky and Lucia Rijker in-person.

With Aaron Erimez' "Ornament."
This animated gem has nothing to do with female boxers but we're adding it as a delightful holiday treat.
In the style of Pixar animation, a mischievous Christmas tree decoration has quite an advnture when he tries to satisy his hunger for some milk and cookies. Its polished look wouldn't make you believe It was created at home using a single computer by Aaron Erimez while he was a college student.
