Unconventional Period Piece Syllabus with Lily Kazimiera

Moody Movies: Andrei Rublev (1966), Orlando (1992), Transit (2018), Chess of the Wind (1976), La Bête (2024), Babyteeth (2020).

Kylie and Elliott are joined by Lily Kazimiera—a Toronto-based, Alberta-born picture editor, actor, writer, and filmmaker— for an Unconventional Period Piece Syllabus. The three start with an interrogation on genre, why period pieces connect or do not connect for each of them. In turning to the six films curated by Lily, they consider what it means to create art in times of destruction, consider the fluidity of self in a sumptuous film, feel the radical content and impeccable setting of a miracle movie, get walloped by capital C choices, feel the terror deep in their bones, and consider why messy, human movies often act as emotional exfoliants.
