Chicago Underground Film Festival and Filmmakers Summit 2008

This is a personal document of Sarah Stark’s 70th and last birthday. Her cancer was in remission and she felt really great, so much so that she gave a spirited, Cassavetesesque performance for the camera. She goes through old pictures of her 1956 trip to Greece and gushes candidly about her romantic ‘affairs’ overseas. The video footage of her secluded, rural life contrasts shraply with found 16mm film footage of her as a young Houston socialite.
