Viewing Notes

The short film before the feature, co-written by Claudia Weill, director of the feature. Really fascinating film about Joyce dealing with motherhood while also maintaining her occupation as a director. She’s the director and the subject, including the graphic birth of her daughter. Not sure how I would have ever seen this if not for Chicago Film Society.
