"Proud Flesh" was filmed in the Badlands National Park in South
Dakota, "1880's Town" a replica of a historic town using original
buildings from the era, and Baltimore, MD. According to Jenny Gräf
Sheppard, the film is a Western but changes into a totally different
direction. The film contains violence, guns, blood and loneliness
like in a "real Western", however it also has a mythical, ritual-like
quality both in its acting and in its story-line. Since early
beginnings, avant-garde filmmakers have been interested in rituals
(like Maya Deren) and using film to "transfigure" them in time.
However, it is unusual to see this stance applied to the Western
genre and the settings of historical costumes and places of that
time. "I've always been interested in picturing women in that
condition (of the John Ford Western, KWE), and an older woman that
position ... picturing older women in the traditional young, male
role." With their debut film, the two filmmakers and musicians, Jenny
Gräf Sheppard and Chiara Giovando have composed a congenial mixture
of film, music and reflections of the American story.
