Olivier and I have scored an incredible short film called “Hysterical Girl” directed by Kate Novack. It will be at SXSW Film Fest in March. It’s about Freuds only female case study called “Dora”. It’s a fascinating look at the way in which our culture has been likely inspired by Freuds perception to blame the female victim of sexual assault. His take was, she wanted it, she asked for it, “no” means “yes”… Horrible. And these themes have been trickling down ever since… Anita Hill, Christine Blasey Ford, but also countless low profile, unknown people who never find justice because of this patriarchal blame game. It was a great pleasure to work on this film musically, and to be involved with a project that is drawing profound lines effortlessly between the past and present.

At Tribeca Film Fest “Making The Case” Starring Ruth Bader Ginsburg is a short film that Clare did scoring for. The film received a grant to hire female composers only (whoop!) so Clare went solo on this. It’s a sweet film where RBG shows us all the hand bags she’s collected over the years and the stories behind them. She’s so eloquent and frankly, it’s a light lovely film in the midst of so much darkness in the world. She’s really letting us in.
