Art. U. Sci. 7(4): Stories We Tell

Published: Nov. 30, 2022, 1:30 p.m.

“Michael was a private person and Diane was definitely not a private person.”


The Arts Union Science podcast returns in artificial Super8 for its penultimate episode of Volume 7. Join your corresponding author (Tyler D. R. Vance) and this week’s first author (Nicole V. Stawikowski) as they talk “Stories We Tell”, the 2012 personal documentary by Canadian filmmaker Sarah Polley. Along the way, they’ll reflect on how movies strike differently with age, marvel at how Polley is able to capture the humanity in all of her familial subjects and throw the most umbrageous shade at both “Blonde” and the 1970’s Italian film “Swept Away” … it makes sense in context.
