Fronza Woods’ film heroines are funny, clever, wise and instantly memorable. In the late 1970s, whilst living in New York, Woods made two brilliant short films, Killing Time and Fannie’s Film. Woods’ blend of portraiture and interviews draws us into the inner lives, dreams and desires of two New York women, one working class and one middle class; one a documentary, the other a fiction. As a result, her aesthetically dazzling films continue to daringly and beautifully challenge mainstream media’s ongoing stereotyping of women of colour.
