Summary This short, avant-garde film features a cyborg heroine who is a metaphor for the postmodern condition--fragmented,reconstructed,hybrid,virtual, part history/part future. The film skillfully blends archival footage, original 16mm live-action footage, animation and a rich musical and sound collage score to tell the story of a bird/woman creature. As a modern Frankenstein story, 'On a Phantom Limb' sometimes disturbingly and sometimes whimsically conveys the human encounter with mortality . 'The monster did not choose this for herself, to be an amalgam of alchemy.' View more details
