The art of that time mirrors the optimism and the affluence, and the technology and the vulgarity of those boom years.

With a folk singing Janis Joplin, the 13th Floor Elevators, peyote, LSD and the first psychedelic music venue in Texas, Austin was a fertile ground for the emerging counter culture of the 1960s. Seen as nonconformists, Beatnik inspired students were drawn together by folk, country and Blues music while dabbling with peyote and later exploring with LSD. Traditional values became challenged as they sought a lifestyle outside of the system. Civil Rights and the war in Vietnam were galvanizing factors in 1960s American society, but the advent of psychedelics made it electrified! This is how Austin became groovy.

Loden’s WANDA had a latent feminist sensibility, if not an overtly expressed feminist politics. While some feminist audiences of the film saw little of an affirmative model within it, WANDA also was exhibited in early women’s film festivals of the 1970-80s, where it was often programmed alongside the films here assembled. In a contemporaneous, parallel track of women’s filmmaking, women on the cusp of the feminist movement’s second wave began to analyze the problems they faced in their daily lives. Across non-fiction and avant-garde modes, these films embodied an emergent collective feminist voice using distinct strategies: collage, disruption, self-narration.
