FROM THE ARCHIVES OF THE MODERN ART

Eleanor Antin enjoys making up characters. Here, in six mischievous films, she follows the tribulations of Eleanor Antinova, a Russian ballerina, back to the United States after working with Diaghilev. A patchy story made of short films that poke fun at our archivistic fetishism and mimic conventional genres, from scenic documen- tation to farce, including a pornographic film. (NF)
