Logs

In keeping with the work I do curating and facilitating screenings and discussions, I primarily enjoy thinking through, beyond and across films. These logs span film, texts, and online ephemera across my research interests.


hysteria

hysteria in the home

thinking about:

  • home environments as one stimulus for, or representation of variously uncontrollable, unsociable, uncomfortable (“hysterical”) states
  • relationships to conservatively feminine domestication
  • mise-en-scene and cinematography foregrounding a sense of confinement
  • set design / interior design
