The Scene of the Scene episodes:

May 01, 2018 6. The Return.
We return to Hot Docs for The
Return (Malene Choi, 2018), a hybrid
documentary (i.e., one that includes fictional elements). It tells the story
of two adoptees from South Korea who grew up in Denmark and who return to
Korea to seek their biological parents, with complicated results.
Afterwards Chris Piuma and Lochin
Brouillard had some tea and
discussed the film and its resonances with Lochin’s experience as an adoptee
from China who grew up in Canada.

May 01, 2018 5. Cielo.
We saw Cielo (Alison McAlpine, 2017) at Hot
Docs. (Funny how we’re seeing a lot of documentaries
during a documentary film festival.) Cielo (Spanish for "sky") has a lot of
big questions about our relationship to the night sky, and the director asks
both astronomers and villagers in Chile’s majestic Atacama plateau.
Chris Piuma and Angelo
Muredda went out for coffee afterwards to
discuss the film and their own relationship to the stars. (See also: Chris’s
song about a constellation and
Angelo’s podcast about trekking across the
universe.)

April 29, 2018 4. People’s Republic of Desire.
We saw the documentary People’s Republic of
Desire (Hao Wu, 2018). It follows two people in
China who are hoping to become famous through live-streaming. It also tracks the fans—some
very rich, some very poor—who pay to vote for them in an annual competition.
We went to get some bubble tea afterwards to talk about the film and wonder
about internet audiences, social connectedness, and bad interface design.
Chris Piuma and Lochin
Brouillard saw this film as
part of Hot Docs. Chris mentions this episode of You’re
Not Funny.

April 28, 2018 3. Shirkers.
In the early 90s, three teen zinester girls in Singapore make a movie with
their Svengali-like older friend Georges. It’s a feature-length experimental
road movie called Shirkers, and it is destined to become a cult classic—until
Georges runs away with the footage. Sandi Tan, the wunderkind screenwriter and
lead actor of Shirkers, now presents
Shirkers (2018), a documentary about
the lost film, and an attempt to figure out what happened after Georges left.
Chris Piuma and Nadia
Halim saw the film at Hot
Docs and discussed it afterwards over drinks.

April 24, 2018 2. Beuys.
We went to see the documentary
Beuys (Andres Veiel,
2017), about the experimental artist, provocateur, and sometime politician
Joseph Beuys. Over sushi we
discuss how performance artists of the 70s kept putting themselves in harm’s
way, and we wade into it means to be a social activist artist.
Featuring Chris Piuma and Nadia
Halim.

19min
April 22, 2018 1. Fun Home.
We went to see the musical Fun Home, based on Alison Bechdel’s autobiographical graphic
novel about her relationship with her father. We
discuss how queer narratives have changed over the years, the trauma of the
closet, and the trickiness of representation.
Featuring Chris Piuma, Michael
Collins, and Daniel Price.
