“Empty Suitcases is a narrative derived from film’s own material and my concern for exploring issues of representation and identification in cinema. The film presents fragments of a woman’s life — her work (as a photographer), her friendship and relationships — in short, her economic, sexual, and artistic struggles. By deconstructing the fragments of text, speech, music and picture, the film forces focus on the workings of narrative, as well as on the narrative itself.” —Bette Gordon
