Domain of the Pixel Pixies(1998)

Domain of the Pixel Pixies is an experimental film that follows videomaker Anne McQuire as she navigates a world shaped by environmental disaster and artistic practice. Emerging from a landscape scarred by El Niño flooding, McQuire finds refuge in her concrete office, where she dispenses small gestures of warmth and chocolate. The film weaves together imagery from art museums, screening spaces, and cafés, creating a portrait that blends personal documentary with broader meditations on American culture and the margins of contemporary life. Dreamlike and digressive, it treats McQuire's daily rituals as a counterpoint to ecological upheaval and the restless spirit of artistic survival.
