You Are Not I is a 1981 American drama film directed by Sara Driver and starring Suzanne Fletcher, Evelyn Smith, Nan Goldin, and Lucy Sante.[1] The film is based on the 1948 short story of the same name by Paul Bowles.

Summary

Adapted from a Paul Bowles story, a young mentally disturbed woman named Ethel (Flectcher) escapes from the asylum where she is treated until she is mistaken for one of the survivors of a deadly car accident she stumbled upon. Then she is taken to her sister's home.[3][4]

Production

The film was shot in six days for $12,000 as a thesis film for New York University.[1][5]

It played widely at international film festivals, but a leak at a New Jersey warehouse destroyed the negative leaving Driver with a battered unprojectable copy. It was thought to have been lost,[1] until a print was found at the holdings of Bowles.[6][7]

Rediscovery

It has since been released on the DVD set "Driver X4: The Lost and Found Films of Sara Driver".[2]
