The Contortionist

Synopsis

This rare homemade movie by Joyce Randall depicts Artist, Sculptor, Doll Maker, Greer Lankton in an impossible number of positions, time lapsed. She manages to cover every square inch of the room before the film is done. Greer's friends often mention that she used to like to tie herself up in knots and stay in contorted positions, as well as sit in unusual poses that demonstrate her flexibility, so she and her sister created this home movie on VHS.
