Summary

Ericka Beckman makes films without plots in a conventional sense, constituting them instead from themes: socialization, acculturation, competition and the organization of thoughts and memory. Since they are largely structured like games, they do not have characters; they have players. Like everything else about the films - the scenery, the props, the animation - the players are representatives, stand-ins contributing to Beckman's abstract ruminations on culture in a time-based medium. This monograph documents every film Ericka Beckman has made since her days as a CalArts graduate in the 1970s.
