Super Sapphic Film Club

This week we watched The Feels (2017), starring Constance Wu and Angela Trimbur. Haley was not pleased to learn (after the fact) that the entire film was improvised, and Claire has a startling moment of "recognition of the self through the other" in regards to mean improv.  Thank you for listening!
