We had such a lively conversation about Mila Zuo's brilliant short horror film Carnal Orient in Intro to Film class today! It works beautifully after discussions of the (refusal of the) "male gaze" in Hitchcock films and Cleo from 5 to 7, and next week we'll continue to discuss the Orientalist gaze in Get Out!

2016 premiere at Slamdance International Film Festival, official selections at Atlanta Film Festival, Florida Film Festival, Palm Beach Film Festival, Los Angeles…
