Episode 7: Film, "Good Art", and Power | Solo Episode

This is a solo episode in which I talk/ramble about different things that have been on my mind lately relating to art and life. I don't really make any points nor was I trying to but just wanted to chat. In this episode I talk about:

• How I've been feeling lately-feeling lost and unaccomplished in my mid-twenties
• Post-grad anxiety
• How my mindset has changed from a negative one to more positive/growth oriented
• Resisting hustle culture
• Questioning motivation for creating art-for myself or for external validation
• Thoughts on the film Call Me By Your Name (2017)
• Wanting to see queer film and media as a queer person
• The French new wave aesthetic
• Eric Rohmer
• Claire's Knee (1970)
• Lack of negative critique for art/film of certain aesthetics that have been historically praised
• Persistence of white stories, male gaze, heteronormativity, and romanticisation of relationships with clear imbalance/abuse of power in media and film
• Woody Allen
• What makes good art, the influence of socially/politically powerful groups on what art is seen as good and rewarded
• Instagram/social media
• Trends
• Internet nostalgia
