Her debut feature, Lives of Performers, reminded me a little of Rivette's Out One, where the outlines of a story gradually coalesce out of rehearsals for a theatrical show, and then slowly recede again. It's pretty dry and academic until the surprise musical cue at the end, though.

Worth going even if I don't know anything about the filmmaker or her work?

Know this is late but there were awful prints on UBU web. Hardly ideal.
I've seen 2/3 of these in the past. Worth a watch especially as they can get quite diaristic. At a time where biographical modes of fiction are in vogue again (Ernaux), it might be worth a look.
