Next Episode: What is creative nonfiction?
In this episode, we discuss two films about close female friendships between teenage girls — that may tip into sapphic love — and how they are affected when the girls are possessed by the patriarchy: Céline Sciamma’s Water Lilies (2007) and Karyn Kusama’s Jennifer’s Body (2009).
The episode features Editor-in-Chief Alex Heeney. Executive Editor Orla Smith, Editor-at-Large Mary Angela Rowe, and special guest Lena Wilson.
